Hypertension Hell...
I've been struggling with stage 3 (severe) Hypertension (+200/100) since I discovered the problem in 2006. The problem is, the drugs lower my blood pressure, but make me feel like crap. (Dizziness, fatigue, a feeling of weakness, light headed feeling when I move too quick, have to pee a lot...)
The other problem with BP drugs is, they can have adverse effects on the active lifestyle of an athlete.
The list of possible side effects is frightening.
In my research, I have found 3 great papers on Hypertension and Athletes.
If you are a physically active person with High Blood Pressure, please read these arcticles. They may help.

I want to lower it without the need for drugs. So, I will lose 30 pounds, (Continue to) adjust my eating lifestyle (diet), and exercise at least 5 times a week.
Live Long & Prosper.
