My doctor put me on all sorts of B.P. meds and in the end, I bit the bullet and threw down the co-pay for Procardia XL. Fortunately, there were extentuating circumstances that I got under control and now successfully off the medication for 1+ yr. After qualifying for my pension, I asked for a reduced position (infinitely less stress) at my workplace, lost a little weight, gave up drinking 10+ yrs ago. Feel great and have better sleep patterns. FYI: I am 52 yrs. old and have had high B.P. since highschool.
Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication
I was put on HBP medication couple weeks ago due to slight blood pressure elevated from 135/85 in am to 145/92 in early pm time and my life has been turning up side down. As much as I love to listen to the music and mess around with my equipments on my day-off, now I see myself tired all days coping with the side effects of different type of HBP meds. I have not be able to turn on my gear for weeks due to the lacking of energy and I wonder how do other audiophiles who has the same medical issue can overcome the tiresome to enjpy the music. Please share some thoughts .
