A good many people need to work with their doctor to get the "right" blood pressure medication. My first one made me cough and gag for a year, before I realized there was a connection.

Nothing takes care of high blood pressure like High blood pressure medication in my humble opinion. I am not a doctor or a nurse either.

Apple vinegar can't hurt...but I am worried that it won't do the whole job.
Hey Gracie,

I bet that one that gave you the cough was an ace inhibitor. Good drugs. But in some cases, I think those are the ones that can have the side effect of causing a dry, hacking cough.

It is so important to have a doctor involved in the treatment of hypertension. And if side effects of meds are a problem, the doc needs to know that. There are lots of choices of bp meds. That's for sure. And doses can be adjusted.

Now, I am going to link some more info here. This is from Mayo about the categories of bp meds. It lists some of the names, too.

Gracie, here we are, while it is snowing and blowing in Cincinnati and we are stuck, it looks like we have decided to open a medical practice. This was just supposed to be about cider vinegar and here we are. Giving extra advice. And I think I might be sounding kind of bossy. And I keep handing out links for people to read if they want to. I am acting like an info-maniac. Geez. Hey, do you happen to know how to bill insurance companies? Oh, I sure hope this snow stops soon.
