Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Ive not heard that Statins can help to improve BP before just that they can help to lower cholesterol. Could there be another reason for your improved BP?
I had a severe heart condition brought about by very high blood pressure and treatment was via a number of different medications prescribed in stages. Starting off with diuretics, then statins, then ace inhibitors then beta blockers. Blood presure kept dropping and the problem was rectified. Although normally associated with cholesterol, it is administered to people with high BP but I think this is more as a prophylaxis than a direct intervention.
