Well, I've just passed the 3 months timeline, here and my blood pressure is still a problem, I replaced my water pills with L-taurine, and really can not honestly say it's done anything to lower the B.P., I 'm contenplating going back on the water pills, to see if I get get it down, before my next visit, as if it's not down, he'll want me on something stronger. ( I know they will stall me, but, I'm more concerned about the B.P. right now)
I've tryed the cutting out of eggs and red meat............... no difference. However I just read that taking 1/2 of an aspirin daily, may help the effects of ( sorry for got the term for it) where red meat and eggs can effect Blood pressure.
So yes, not everyone's B.P. benefits by this woe. But I also agree, it needs to be tracked for a while before he writes a precription. Maybe you have" White Coat syndrome" ( walk into a doctors office......see the white coat............ up goes the B.P.)
Good Luck, Kathy
