Dr. H,

I know all too well the trying to lose weight to get back to that feeling of Oh I remember when , after reading this weeks byte, two things stick out in my mind that as an M.D. you should have picked up on. First, if the two pills a day are a Beta Blocker, you should be gasping, the beta receptors being suppressed with never allow you to hit a target heart rate and you will be tired after physical work. Second, if you are trying to watch your diet and your salt intake, you need to skip the celery. Celery has among the highest sodium content of all veggies, consequently, more water retention and a chance for artificially inflating your BP. If you are serious about attacking both issues, you may wish to follow the Dash Diet. I tried it and it works very well. If your hypertension is adrenal, the dash diet will do little to help the BP, BUT, it is a great alternative to any of the fad diets.

Brothers in the battle . IF you get to Idaho look me up.
