((((Leslie))))) Whining IS allowed, you know that!!!!! I am also sorry to hear this. One of my brothers also has ...what is it called? Unmanageable BP? no, that doesn't sound right... though it is eh?

I don't want to minimize what you are going through. I know I can lower my heart rate and blood pressure greatly through "intention." Not just thinking I can do it, but concentrated meditation to do so. Even if it didn't help your actual BP, it would give you some peaceful time, and assist your breathing, and "mindfulness."

IIt's so frustrating to have something you have no control over! Just ain't " fair."
