I'd never been on BP meds until T got into office. Not long after his inauguration my BP started consistently showing high, so doc put me on meds. I've changed a couple of times over the years, but I have lost a LOT of weight... like a whole other person's worth. I'm constantly feeling fatigued (I say it's like hitting a brick wall) and some days I don't even have the energy to get out of bed. I've just been blaming my fibro. But when I saw my doc last week, my blood pressure was WAY down, especially for me. I'm going to keep attention over the next few days and if I don't get a bit more energy back, I'll give her another call and ask about the meds. I recently had an obstruction in my esophagus, and I'm still trying to recoup from about a week without food. Man, I hate this getting older. If it's not one thing, it's a 1000 others!!! Thank you for the info, tho... I never would have thought about this on my own!
