Blane,
Thanks so much for the info. A Dyna-Max may be the answer! I purchased
one of those blood-pressure gizmos that wraps around your wrists. It
works but it's about 15 pts. lower than at the doctors office. But they
never get accurate readings anyway. It cost $100. At least you and Henry
have given me hope that maybe some day I can find a drug I can tolerate.
Tonight, I start another new hypertension drug called Hitrin 1 mg. I
think maybe your drug, Cozaar, might be a diuretic because those are the
drugs that deplete the potassium. I will look it up. Keep your fingers
crossed for me and thanks for your help!
