Simply put. If you were concerned about your pump or tubing, how would you fix it? There are 2 general categories of blood pressure drugs: water pills (diuretics) that lower the amount of fluid in the system and and ACE inhibitors/beta blockers that limit the max ability of the heart to pump blood. I agree that we need to bring down the blood pressure. Too much pressure in the CV system is too hard on the heart and puts wear and tear on the vessels (making them more prone to aneurysms). But do we jury rig the system? If we have an older outdoor hose, that means we have 2 options... don't turn up the spigot too high or put some holes throughout the hose to eliminate some of the water. However, if I'm washing my care or sprinkling my lawn, it may mean I can't do things as efficiently as I used to. I think we should truly consider figuring out WHY the patient's CV system is having a hard time controlling the increased pressure like it used to. FIX THE PROBLEM, rather than just jury rig. And it's almost always more complicated than too much salt. http://amplify.com/u/23pq
