Do you exercise? That might help. |
Fabulous! Keep up the good work, and hopefully you won't need meds for bp for a very long time, if at all. It does sound crazy to be taking something for high blood pressure at 19. I just know it doesn't need to be ignored at any age. You are doing great.
Maybe this can work for Joe??
