Thank You everyone for the concern. My BP has done really well since starting on the med. I'm on the strongest dose they have of the med, Benicar. So far it's staying in the normal range and not spiking like it was. I started seeing a new doctor when my BP went up. I really like her and she's very pro-active with reguards to preventitive medical care. She was really surprised that my doctor had let things get so out of control. The new doctor has me going for a complete physical on June 6th. She said she wants to start from the beginning to make sure they old doctor hasn't missed anything. I'm just really happy to have found her.
