Who here has high blood pressure?

I take three BP meds. I have been on an assortment of them for 25+ years. I am on my second kidney transplant and have had almost two years of Dialysis then almost another 2 years of Dialysis after my first transplant was all used up.

My kidney disease was the start of the kidney failure which then brought on high blood pressure which kills off kidneys FAST.

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!!!

Walk if you can, ride bikes, or swim. Whatever you can do will help your cardiovascular system. I will never be free of BP meds but the better health I am in means the lower doses or using less of them. Less BP meds usually means less side effects and higher quality of life.

I think I have added salt to my food once in 25 years. You get used to not having it. After a while food starts to taste good again. :)
