Just a word of caution for you and @PatAtkins about blood pressure medications.
For some users, blood pressure medication has caused essential minerals to drop below safe levels In our case it was sodium., but for another member @Poncho it was potassium. It has come up on a couple of occasions and it has happened to my Mum, but at the same time many others are not affected by it.
We discussed it quite recently and there are other posts on this forum - you can search by key words such as sodium levels, blood pressure etc.
You may wish to read this as a forewarned forearmed informational.
