Recently at my family doctor s appointment, my blood pressure read 185, so my doctor put me on Amlodipine 5mg once a day for 30 days. I have been taking Cayenne Pepper 500 mg once a day to help with my high cholesterol because unable to takes statins after trying 6 different brands. I am also on Turmeric and Cinnamon.
