I highlighted somethings in RED,,,, but pls read the whole thing. 
High Blood Pressure
Medicines to Help You

High blood pressure is a serious illness.


High blood pressure is often called a "silent killer" because many people have it but do not know it. Some people do not feel sick at first. Over time, people who do not get treated for high blood pressure can get very sick or even die.


High blood pressure can cause:



  • kidney failure
  • stroke
  • blindness and
  • heart attacks.

There is good news.

There are life-saving medicines people can take every day to help control their high blood pressure. People who eat healthy foods, exercise, and take their medicines every day can control their blood pressure.


Take your blood pressure medicines.

It is important to take your blood pressure medicines every day. Take your medicines even when your blood pressure comes down … even when you do not feel bad. Do not stop taking your medicine until your doctor says that it is OK.


Most people who take high blood pressure medicines do not get any side effects. Like all medicines, high blood pressure medicines can sometimes cause side effects. Some people have common problems like headaches, dizziness or an upset stomach. These problems are small compared to what could happen if you do not take your medicine. PLEASE RE READ THIS RUSTYCAROLE!

OK Rusty. (())


Now that you know the headaches are still there, please be off to your doctor (or the next time you are there) and talk to him about it, as it may be of importance in ways that we don't know.

Have you tried yoga?


Yep you put a smile on my face alright - I just pictured standing on one leg trying to balance myself and falling over like a big old blob...not unlike 'cow tipping'...l now get THAT image out of your head....rofl


sounds to me like you could use a day at the spa with a massage and hot stone treatment.


This is exactly one of the main reasons I'm looking forward to this cruise - most of the Spa stuff is free and I will make the most of it.

Hello RustyCarole, I haven't been around but found notice of your post in my old email that's been sitting around here getting yellowed with age.
