Whoa, Jill glad to hear your feeling better (although you don't say that) and back on the road to recovery.

We all go through wake-up calls which slap us in the face to start taking better care of ourselves. Unfortunately, the physical wake-ups are very painful.

I too have hypertension, but it's been under control and normal now for the past 6 years thanks to my conservative, yet prudent physician who slowly and steadly changed my med dosage to match my weight/diet lifestyle. Loosing the sodium in my foods, shedding 20 lbs, and actively exercising has done wonders for my physiology.

Hopefully, you can get back to normal real soon.

Regards,
Al
