Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication

I had a heart attack about one and a half year ago, totally unexpected. Fortunately I'm young (well.. 38 at the time) and in good health. It was a very light attack, no damage done. Since then I'm on meds as you can imagine. Beta-blockers, blood-pressure, cholesterol... you name it, I've got'm. It took some time to get used to it, and especially the first weeks I was very tired, but by doing my exercises I'm now able to lead a very normal live.
So keep on, try (very gentle) to do some exercise every day and expand your physical limits. You'll be hauling around your system in no time!

There are a whole slew of BP meds and different ways to take them - for example taking meds at night rather than in the morning will change the time of their peak effect. Because we are individuals, the approach must also be individualized - especially for those of us who are more sensitive. The key is to find the right drug/combination/dosing that works best for you. It is not "rocket science," but it does take trial and error. And your physician should be willing to work with you to get it right.

As far as non-Rx approaches, the three most important are weight loss and exercise and salt control.

However, BP control is critical. Even mild elevations (what is now called pre-hypertension) have been associated with increased mortality and should not be ignored.

The music as I listen lowers my blood pressure.

Danlib1--just to let you know there is data suggesting that ARB's may improve ED
