So sorry for your terrible loss...

Without going into my own convoluted story, over the last couple years i have been forced into dealing with this HBP crap...you didn't say what medicines you are on, but metropolol has worked well for me along with an occasional lisinipril... be very wary of clonodine...i have spent many hours on the web desperately researching for the magic lol...There is a tv show called "your health" which has been a godsend...maybe you can find it (mine is on dish network)

Go to askapatient.com for totally great reviews of all kinds of drugs...that site literally saved me from devastating side effects of levaquin...

Also, i am also a more holistic person, so i have been taking a TON of supplements and have been able to cut WAY down on the meds (i was originally given enough for an elephant lol)

What i like best: cQ10 (a total must have), omega 3-6-9, magnesium, D3, olive leaf extract, noni juice, and (amazingly) sublingual B-12 has seemingly worked wonders (or just a coincidence)..(.my brother is an MD and he has been impressed)

Dr Richard Becker and Dr Steven Sinatra both have sites and supplements that have been effective for me...not super cheap, but i always buy on sale so it isn't so bad...what's REALLY aggravating is that insurance was willing to spend over $300,000 for my emergency care, but refuses to pay the several hundred dollars to keep me out of the hospital...just another example of capitalistic stupidity rife in this country...

Much luck and please keep posted...rooting for you!!
