I agree with you on the risk factors, but after years upon years on these drugs,, I had to try to get off them and try something diffrent -in chance they might work for me.. well they didnt ! so im back on the chemical b.p pills again.. sos.. as far as the poison goes
I do agree again with you, I was told by pharm person, that I was more less allergic to the fillers -in the pills I take ? and that the fillers had the real stuff that caused my side effects ? but I tend to agree more with you, that the med its self is the poison we take
and causes the side effects to happen. I guess like I wrote above - I will seek and find a way to take off the edge or stop the side effects from happeing , as clearly I have to be on somekind of b.p lowering medication for life. no way around it !! unless something natural comes up that works, but that is a thinn line ... and most likely wont happen ..
thank you again for your post ..boogernose
Thank you for your post,
well I had to go back on the good ol medications again, as b.p went too high - and I just didnt feel good off the medications. Im doing fine now and im back on my normal dose of verapamil and max. bp is down -
I guess the next step would be to try and counter act the side effects ?
or take the edge off them ? how to do that, is my next venture in life.
I really think iv been on these meds too long - and im more less additced to them - so could be why I had such a hard time getting off them - withdrawal symptoms , I know alot of doctors would say its not that at all.. but drugs are drugs !
well anyways back on the old stuff , nice try for me ,but it didnt work out ! and I would rather fight the side effects -than having a stroke or
die .. it came to that ,yesterday a.m !!
I did talk to natural doctor, they said I was allergic to the natural meds?
that I took. well wont take them anymore simple as that !
thanks again

You are putting yourself at serious risk for a stroke, not to mention major strain on your heart. Believe me, the side effects of a major stroke, assuming it doesn't just kill you, are way worse than the side effects of these drugs. I hope your family is supportive as you may need caregivers. It takes a lot of trial and error sometimes to find the right combination to control hypertension. Sometimes, if not all the time, we all have to put up with side effects in order to live. But of course it's your choice. Choose wisely.
Most everybody has side affects from BP and other heart medications......I take so many different types that I have zero energy. With each pill there comes a little poison. This is a quote from a famous doctor. The poison may be what is causing our side affects.
We are all unique in the way we respond to medicines. Some experience more side affects than others and more extreme than others.
One thing for sure is that you need to keep your BP under control. If you don't, it can cause your heart to enlarge, and also cause you to have a stroke among other things, and will eventually kill you before your time!
