Kim I sympathize as my hubby hasn't even gone for a physical in years and years. High cholesterol runs in his family and I am really worried. He said that years ago his cholesterol was fine. Doesn't he realize that those numbers can change? I find that the more I nag, the more he digs in his heels. I am thinking of just going ahead and making that appointment. I doubt he'd cancel.

I don't know that personality change is related to BP medications. I take a blood pressure lowering medication and have never been told/warned of that as a side effect. I am thinking that maybe something else is going on with your hubby which might be causing his outbursts. Most men aren't very communicative when it comes to what is bothering them, unlike us women who will tell any listening ear!
