[QUOTE="Susiebabs, post: 348548, member: 58782"] Thanks for the reply. I think my main issue is that my blood pressure is very good normally around 110/60 therefore I can't see any benefit in taking a tablet whose primary function is to reduce your blood pressure. Indeed I'm not sure that I'd want my blood pressure reduced any further. Think I'll put a note in to have a more in depth chat with the GP about it. He does seem quite quick with the meds as a problem solver (often wants to prescribe on a preventative rather than treatment basis and while I'm not adverse to the idea of preventative medicine I'd rather fully understand exactly what I'm putting into my body long-term). I also really need to understand what results he was referring to and what sort of damage having those results in the 'high normal' range can do to you over a longer period of time. It wasn't very clear when I was talking to him and on reflection I should've taken notes at the time so I could go away research properly! Ah well you live and learn!
