I have high blood pressure that only seems to appear when I have inflamation, which is almost always. The nurses mention my high blood pressure but I guess it's not high enough to put me on meds. My blood pressure was 158/94 a couple days ago, and it's been higher than that. I take CoQ10 but recently ran out and now I'm waking up in the morning with pins and needles and feeling even more sluggish than normal. I have high cholesterol too, even though I try to eat healthy. The CoQ10 at least keeps me in the pre hypertension arena. Maybe you can talk to your doctor about taking the CoQ10. I've got to go to the store today and get some -- it's in the vitamin section at most stores. Since I haven't taken it for a few day, I can really feel how much it helps.
