Well, none of us have $667, right? For me, it’s also $67 hard to set aside 🤣.

I've got one just like that 🤣.

C&A, KIK, and bon-prix catalog sales. They have the best prices in the country and they always have those numbers.

I'm also looking for boots, but I need a store that's available all over the US, not just in NYC. Deichmann is way too narrow for me.

Personally, I'm on Ramipril plus two other antihypertensives along with a lipid-lowering med, and everything is fine.
Are you on Amlodipine/HCTZ?
Looking at your BP log, your pressure seems regulated. You only need to check it 3-4 times a week; there's no need to do it at all hours of the day.
Keep working on reducing blood pressure and stick to a low-cholesterol diet.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you and what exactly is your diagnosis?

I have a few questions here:

1. Why bother giving antihypertensives to someone with psychogenic hypertension in the first place? It’s not like they actually work in those cases.
2. Once those meds failed, the person was prescribed anxiolytics, and now everything is fine—blood pressure has normalized. So why leave them on the antihypertensives?

All other test results have been perfectly fine from the start. The only issue is that the person is overweight, though they've been losing weight over time, and it hasn't made a dent in the blood pressure. They still have some extra weight, but this is a young person and I don't see any reason for them to be on blood pressure medication.

Can someone explain this?

Oh, and there is a family history of strokes and heart attacks, but those didn't happen until everyone was already in their 80s, so I figure that's pretty much expected at that age.
