I am joining the " hypertension club". My last few BPs (using calf cuff reading) have been anywhere from 150 to 180 ! During TX w Hercep I occaisionally had high readings, butsince I have have had consistently high readings the last 4 months or so, I am now on Zestril.
Havent taken my first one ...YET... but am so sorry to have to add yet another medication to my routine.

PS Hypertension has affected all the men on my fathers side of the family...most died from CAD.My weight is 150 and I am 5' 5 1/2...cholesterol levels arent so hot either. DARN! I may just have to go out and buy one of those BIG plastic med- minders!! LOL
