YES, Amazing perspicacity!
My doc says I have high PB (Diastolic systolic/ -the lower one especially).
He has put me on Coversyl all this does (I think) is take some water out of your blood so less blood= less pressure. Seems a bit dumb.
I am about to start myself on small, long term, dose of ginseng (American, Chinese or Korean). This tones up all the blood vessels and muscles around them and helps lower cholesterol (which is also a little high).
The medical advice about dietary salt reduction varies.
I was interested in salt before diagnosed with high BP
Soil salinity and water are becoming big problems here. We had some gentle rain last night the first since Feb 26!
The Outback farmers are really suffering.
Yet the North & NE (Qld and NT) are suffering from three major hurricanes and massive flooding!
