Hypertension and Marijuana
I doubt that. I deeply understand not liking statin's. I am unable to take them and I have high cholesterol and already had a stent. I also happen to have high BP.
The statin is for your cholesterol, not your blood pressure per se. Ya, clogged arteries can increase your heart work load and BP. I doubt very seriously if docs will suggest mmj for high BP regardless of studies.
So, you need to sit down with your doctor and work this out. You can try different statins and maybe another is tolerable to you. Diet and exercise. It sucks the huge weinie, but that is the only other alternative and that is just plain hard work. Essentially eliminate beef, shellfish, poultry skin, saturated fats. Lots of fruits, grains, veggies....what I call girl food....and I am sick of it....but it is better than taking statins.
I do not know how severe your reaction to statins is, but mine was severe musculoskeletal pain, severe depression with suicidal ideation......IT TOOK THE FUC*ERS 15 YEARS to figure it out too. I feel like I got robbed of life.
