Yeah...I do take daily bp medications...it's just that the bp spikes especially in winter. I guess I am "lucky" to have symptoms when the bp goes whacky. I am not sure what part the hypothyroid plays in my high blood pressure because both of my parents suffered from high blood pressure, also. Surely, hypothyroidism doesn't help anything, though. I am going to have to lose weight, get exercise plan going AND eat a proper diet, whether I like it or not.

There are lots of cheap generic drugs for hypertension, but some of them have side effects like sleepiness or coughing or whatever.
