High Blood Pressure
"I have the type of BP that will shoot up in the doctor&#039;s office, even if I go in for a hang nail.  Yes, it was somewhat high at home 130&#039;s/80-90.   I was put on 20, and hated that the quality of my life is terrible due to exhaustion/tiredness/sleepiness from the pill.  I insisted on trying 10 mg, but of course my BP jumped up in the doctor&#039;s office.  I&#039;m back on 20, but I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s worth living this way.  The tiredness makes me depressed and makes me feel old.  When I quit the pills, the sleepiness goes away.  I&#039;m not really overweight, but I&#039;m going to try to lose more to see if that helps.  I do exercise, but in the winter, I often don&#039;t do as much and the exhaustion doesn&#039;t help."
