Thanks. I'd do it but, unfortunately I was using weed and still had high blood pressure. I believe that in this case it was the combination of the Rx drugs, fatigue, dehydration and marijuana that caused my BP to drop like that - but too much weed was probably the main reason. I am not overweight, and don't smoke cigarettes, but my father had a stroke when he was five years younger than my current age. There may be a way to lower my BP through more exercise, dietary changes (difficult because of celiac), fish oil supplements, etc., but it's too risky to discontinue the medication at this point. Vaping very small amounts at correct temperatures seems to be OK, though.
Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . Blood Pressure and Marijuana incident My blood pressure has been a little elevated, so with my doctor's advice I recently started taking a blood pressure drug - an ACE inhibitor called Quinapril. The directions say that it can cause dizziness and in some cases fainting. Anyway the first week and a half was fine. I vaped very little, if at all, cut down on my salt, and my home blood pressure machine readings showed some improvement. The medicine's directions also said that it could take 1 to 2 weeks for it to start working. Rating: 5
