Thanks, Donna. (I'm the one who started the thread because I'm hoping to do without the meds.) I won't mind using them at all if I can't bring it down. It's just that since my family history doesn't have BP or heart issues (even though there are weight issues) it freaked me out to have my BP high. Even when pregnant with a lot of weight gain, I always had BP that was low. So I want to see if life changes will bring it down.

If they don't, bring on the meds!
