My blood pressure always rises after that, I told the dr. this, but she ignored it. &nbsp;She prescribed high blood pressure medicine, which caused me to try to faint on multiple times. I never had high blood pressure at home, and I have a brand new pressure measuring machine here. &nbsp;I had to cut the high blood pressure medicine in half before I was not afraid to leave the house that I may faint. &nbsp;To this day I do not truly believe I have high blood pressure, except for what this excessive weight the doctor put on me. &nbsp;The dr. says my cholesterol is good - due to good nutrition I say - due to good genes the dr. says. &nbsp;If i could just lose this extra weight it would be so much better for me.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=193887" width="1" height="1">
