Re: [QUAD-L] high blood pressure

2007-09-04 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We really have no idea why it's high. The problem is it's not always high and when it is it's for no apparent reason. So, now my doctor doesn't think I should be on medicine (I seen him this morning), if it's not consistently high. I just have to monitor it more. Thanks to those who replied!
