Thank You !!!!

That's funny Jenny my Doctor pretty much put it the same way .

You can go to WebMd.com and read up on hypertension. Blood pressure medication is not a given for the rest of your life and many people can discontinue their medication with their physician's approval once they start exercising every day, have lost weight, eat a more healthy diet and their blood pressure is now back in normal ranges. Have you never watched "Biggest Losers" on TV where lots of those overweight men are taken off all or most of their medications once they change their lifestyles? Occasionally, there is a heredity factor that no matter how well you eat, exercise or lose weight, your blood pressure remains elevated. Those people will need to take blood pressure medication the rest of their lives.
