Hmm again very interesting reading, my mother also has a thyroid condition ,maybe that contributed to her high blood pressure, i also read for some reason menopausal woman often find their blood pressure rising,i fit into that one alright.

BTW my cholestrol is absolutely great, very low, was 3.3 last time i had it taken,although my good HDL could be better, prob the exercise will improve that, or as nurse said some people cannot get it better no matter what they do, which was about six months ago,my hubby is the one with that problem, and he is skinny as a rake,however he has changed his diet and we are just going to get his re-tested next week, hoping for a good result for him, there is always something to worry about isn't there, my diabetes is good(both my dad and sister have type 2 diabetes), cholestrol but BP up.
