I’ve had had to stop medication due to high blood pressure.
Yippeeeeeeee!
I mean, can’t you just take HBP meds?
Every medication has conflicts and side effects, ranging from vitamin absorption changes to actual risk of death depending on your situation. Adding another medication adds to the complications, in a 1+1=3 kind of way.
The more you keep going, the more you’re taking on. Soon it becomes a “do I like living or do I want to kill my liver for X benefit” choice. “Brain-zap effects or suicidal thoughts?” (Or, with effexor, both!)
So tread carefully.
Yes medications have potential side effects, but HBP meds have been around for decades, are well studied and shown to be preferable versus the known outcomes of untreated hypertension.
Hypertension will fuck you up way more than taking an additional medication will. On the topic od the liver, It actually causes new blood vessels to be made to circumvent the liver which leads to more waste in bloodstream not being filtered out.
more waste in bloodstream not being filtered out
But that also doesn’t sound like a good thing
Oh yeah sorry, was not trying to present the process as positive…blood should not be circumventing the liver.
