--S-A-- Emperor's New Clothes: Prehypertension Guidelines

[Guest guest]

I would be interested to hear what others have to say on this topic.

I am what is described below as pre-hypertensive. I'm an athlete and

am in tip-top shape. However, my doctor still has me on a low dose

thiazide diuretic. My blood pressure with the medication is usually

120 ish over 75-85, depending on what time of day I take it, how soon

I have eaten before, etc. I'm thinking of dropping the medication

entirely, as I have successfully dropped two other prescription meds

I was on, an antidepressant and a reflux drug with no ill or adverse

affects. I have adopted a higher fat regimen of eating and have been

using coconut oil daily for a month or so. One more pill to kick and

I'm drug free! Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
