Suggest Remedy For High BP
My blood pressure is extremely high, no amount of meds they give, doesn't bring it down. I was never sick a day until a year ago, I was diagnosed with conjestive heart failure/fibulation. They have me on 200 Mg Pacerone, 40 mg Lisinopril, 160 mg Diovan, 50 mg Metropolol plus others. I am desperate. I am 77, 5'2", 160 lbs
