How Can Elevated Blood Pressure Levels Be Treated?
I ve been seeing a family doctor regarding high blood pressure, I ve been put on several medications over the last 8 months and nothing seems to be bringing down my blood pressure, (on two different types, one at night and one in the am). I go to the doctor every month and she changes the medication or just the dosage changes. Is this common to take so long to find the correct med s? thank you....
