High Blood Pressure Meds
Posted: 01-13-06 21:27pm

Ok, my other question is what exactly does high blood pressure meds do for you, I mean how does it work?

If it lowers your heart rate, does that make you lethargic?

Thanks,

It depends on what medication you are on. Which one would you like to know about?

The main idea is that it dilates your blood vessels which decreases the pressure but it's really much more technical than that.

I asked this over two years ago when I was having trouble with elevated BP and Drs gave me a couple months to lower it or they were gonna suggest meds.

I changed my diet and lost a few pounds (probably need to loose more) and now have no more BP problems Smile

Both my parents have HBP and are medicated for it; my mom has a hard time with hers and is always having to change meds.
