I have neuropathies in both arms (we think, now that my BP readings are all over the charts)... and suffer with chronic pain... my BP when I went into the ER in the flare was 185/100!

Within 15 minutes of the shot it went down to 150/80.

My resting BP is 117/76...
I cannot and will not try to take medication. I find more issues with the side effects of meds (and they just keep adding more drugs for those sides effects... etc) but use herbs for the same results without side effects.

I also am now doing my forms with tang soo do... which I've heard that even a few minutes of tai chi or quiet focussed movement immediately lowers pulse and BP. Immediately. So does meditation... so the combination of them, and learning to "hold" that calmness through out the day is my goal.

(Herbs you can take for BP are plenteous. )
