Blood Pressure

[Guest guest]

Dear Matt,

Congratulations on getting your blood pressure down to an acceptable level.

Wish I could imitate you in that regard. You will probably cut back on the

possibility of having a heart attack or stroke. Good luck.

Hands & hearts,

Lottie Duthu

hi tracey, i thought about that myself, but i have started to have a itching

around my ankles,eyes and sometimes my head also itches and is even sore and

feels like the scalp on top is brused. oh well at least i don't think it's too

serious,i'm thinking it might be allergy related.its just annoying.jean

hi shelly,i went to my internist today and he said to try and do deep breathing

and relax right before you take your blood pressure. i have a home blood

pressure maching and take it a couple times a week.he increased my medicine to

100 frome 50. i am not heavy, but i could loose at lease 20lbs. i thought there

could be some cumulative effect from the years on gleevec.he said 50/50. which

is like an non-answer.

i think as you we older anything is possible.lol hugs jean
