high blood pressure
"I am 24 years old Black female and I am 5'10" and weigh 150 which is rather perfect for my BMI. I got diagnosed with essential high blood pressure. I cried like a baby. My mother has it and she has kidney failure and my grandmother died from a stroke.  Both were caused from it being uncontrolled.  I found out when I went to visit the dentist that it was high.  I went to the hospital because of chest pains and it was 141/101 which was extremely high for my age and my weight size.  This medicine has lowered it to 126/76 which is great for me!! I wish the bottom number would go to 70 but I am about to speed up the exercising to help out.  I take it at night because it MAKES ME SLEEPY, which is something that I don't mind."
