[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1031540, member: 41816"] :D I think the best thing I got out of that link is to appreciate that doctors are now habitually treating high bp as the issue, when it is actually a symptom and not the cause. Certainly my doc never made any attempt at all to discover the reason my bp had shot up sky high over a 2 month period - just wrote out a prescription, via the nurse, without asking me a single question. But once I got to understand the cause, [I][B]and it was dealt with[/B][/I], the bp seems to have resolved itself. :) But I am very aware that now I have reached middle age, my body has decided to handle stress by raising bp - and will bear that in mind when next I hit a stressed period!
