hi there Yank,
If you still have your copy of Dr. Atkins' book, you'll see that he addresses high blood pressure, cholesterol and other heart & blood vessel problems very specifically. For most people, the numbers will come down ... Persons taking medication should be followed by their doctor, since the numbers can come WAY down. Then the medication may need to be reduced or even stopped. It's desirable of course to get off the meds, but not without the dr's supervision.
There's more information about high blood pressure and cholesterol at the official Atkins website ... www.atkinscenter.com .. Hope that helps,
Doreen
