Thanks to Jin’s tough love response to my BP post, I’ve since had the Dr. raise my meds to get it down to 115/75. Hopefully I can get off them later this year.

Are you taking high doses of fish oil daily? I can't stress enough how much it lowers BP.

Yeah, 6 grams. I’ve been meaning to do 6 in the am and 6 pm but I never remember.

Just take it all at once. Works for me. 6 vs 12 should make a nice difference.

Shit man. That's not good but that's not off the charts by any means. Id try and get your E in check first. Lisinopril takes a few days to get used to and you might not like the lethargy aspect.

If you plan to continue as is, maybe start with 2.5 mg lisinopril for a week and then go up to 5mg. Thatd probably be enough to get you down in real good range but really, those arent terrible numbers. Diastolic is more important than systolic and you are only 8 pts high there.

Awesome thanks for the advice!
