So, for the time being, I am taking some blood pressure meds and in the long term, I'm making some lifestyle changes. I'm going to lose a bit of weight (not much because really, I'm not considered overweight, just the high side of normal), eat better, and most importantly....QUIT SMOKING!
Thank you all so much for your concern and advice, I really appreciate it. |
Ouch. My mom used to get migraines way more often when she smoked than she does now after having quit. And she also has hypertension, but since she has started taking Benicar it seems like her migraines have gone WAY down in frequency from that too.
