Thank you for the info. I had trouble with my back and made an appt. with a Chiropractor. I went yesterday and my blood pressure was 170/102. He thought it may be from pain and treated and took it again and it went down slightly but still high. He reccomend I call my doc. right away. I did and went today. It was still high and he checked my records and last time I was in it was high but at that time he said he thought it was from pain (I had gotten clipped by the dog during play and needed stitches). Anyway, he put me on Avapro (Gave me samples). I am going to take it but was afraid to start tomorow with the weekend just in case I get sick from it. I've never taken meds like this before. I thought it may lower my blood pressure too much. I wasn't sure if meds like this need adjustments until they get them right. I've put on some weight and I know I have to start to eat better. I haven't felt too good today. Had a headache, racing heart and feeling tired. Not sure if that's from the blood pressure or not. Thanks again. Elaine
