Hi Anthony,
You've been taking medication way too long! Fortunately, you can lower blood pressure and keep it low with lifestyle changes and a healthy diet.
I give you the top 9 steps to controlling blood pressure in a recent article I wrote (High Blood Pressure - 9 Steps to Rein in Skyrocketing Numbers) and recommend reading it. If you'd like more information or guidance on one of the steps, let me know and I'll put together more info for you or point you in the right direction to find help.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD, LN
