[QUOTE="bonerp, post: 107956, member: 1216"] BP is not bad most of the time generally runs about 70/130-145 (higher end when I've had bleeds - prob stress related)! Its a bit of a no win situation because I can't exercise with these bleeds going on, then that causes BGs to increase and subsequently further damage! Grrrrr. I've read the candarsartan help with retinopathy so will be speaking to docs about increasing dose of that permanently (I double it for a couple of weeks after bleeds just to keep things under control). I find docs at hospital don't explain much and never ever see the same GP! This weekend I went out and had a few beers and a lot of diet coke as didnt want to drink too much alcohol whilst these bleeds carry on - got home and had another small bleed. Great. Don't drink much normally so starting to wonder whether caffiene might be causing some probs. I also take some bilberry supplement in an attempt to improve things. Been off them for 4 weeks to see if that was a cause but didn't seem to make much difference whether on them or not! thanks for your help. Paul [/QUOTE]
