Hi and the new meds Avapro + dieuretic plus the other stuff that the doc has him on have lowered it but still not right.........thankfully hes fairly with it taking the right meds at the right time............maybe your OH has a fluid problem as well.........i know i weighed him before the new meds and after taking them hed lost 2kgs no change in diet.........am just trying my hardest to keep him well:) That's interesting JV, OH found it much easier to loose weight on blood pressure tabs. No idea why. He can't take a diuretic because it sets off the dizziness associated with menieres. That could mean a week in bed for him 😞 Glad things are settling down for Mr JV though and hope he has continued good health. 🙂
