i got put on an experimental blood pressure medication
(way back when)
called ex forge once and it gave me edema as a side effect
which is swelling of the feet and or hands
so i dropped it like a hot potato naturally
then recently , when i went to see a cardiologist (specialist)
to get thoroughly tested for my "heart health"
and i passed with flying colors "as expected"
the doctor puts me on another BP med (so now on 3 of -em)
then.... my nurse practitioner goes hmmm and bumps it up to double
even though i hadn't even started the friggan med yet
as CVS pharmacy simply didn't have it in Stock (no less)
so i finally reach critical mass
and the edema started up again... so i started thinkin
what have i been doing differently in the last 3 months
SURE enough, as soon as i drop the nifedipine cold turkey
my feet have gone from swollen
back to 100% normal
funny thing is... if i go to a doctors office my blood pressure skyrockets...
same as it does with
road rage....
better to listen to classical music to soothe the savage beast within
and NOT go to the doctors office heh heh heh
