[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 2523155, member: 222691"] You are prescribed these drugs post bypass for a reason, they are to protect cardiovascular health. Just because you've had bypass surgery, it doesn't remove the causative factors which meant you required that bypass in the first place, which is cardiovascular disease The drugs are prescribed to try to prevent the progression of this disease. They are known as cardio-protective drugs. There are also newer guidelines(2017) for blood pressure readings which were released which now categorise what many have been told is 'normal' blood pressure(120/80) as 'elevated'. Stage 1 hypertension is 130-139 over 80-89, and Stage 2 hypertension at least 140/90. So by these guidelines, many of us will be categorised as hypertensive.who were told we had normal blood pressure! [/QUOTE]
