Was there something happening with your body for them to want to put you on that? Or is it sort of an automatic "at your age" thing?

Being put on high blood pressure medication felt like that to me. But more like I had done something wrong. If I had lost weight. If I exercised. I was ridiculously upset about it. But the rest of my family have had high blood pressure. I guess it was inevitable.

The list of pills in my pillbox keeps growing

I take:
Glucosamine for my knees
a baby aspirin ('cause I'm old)
Buspar for anxiety
Lisinopril for high blood pressure
Pravastatin for cholesterol
Zinc as a preventative, hoping to avoid colds
Black Cohosh for post menopausal symptoms

and timolol because I have the beginning of glaucoma

I'm a pharmacy, basically.
