Ah, just in to the office a bit late having stopped off at the quack's for the regular bimonthly tyre change and windscreen wash.
For the 12th week in a row the old Beep* is operating within normal parameters, Captain. At 139/87 it is on the high side of normal, but still normal. And given that the weather outside is hotter than Kylie's bum, it is probably higher than it would otherwise be; apparently hot weather contributes to hypertension. Presumably it's all those little corpuscles trying to get to the surface to acquire a suntan.
Now that he's happy that we are making progress on that front, he has decided that we should tackle the smoking. Although at the moment that seems to consist of me going away to think about it for a month (presumably not over a cigarette or two), before seeing him again.
Of course, I have tried giving up smoking before. When I try that, I normally go into seclusion for a few days, and my evil twin brother covers my day-to-day routine.

In the a.m. I have Adizem, a calcium antagonist (should be a punk band), aspirin (boring), bendrofluorozine water tablets (to make me pee like a cart horse, I thankyew), and Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor.
Who needs brekky?
In then evening, by way of supper, I take a single Stattin tablet to do things to cholestersol (which is low anyway, but that didn't stop him prescribing it).
This little chemical medley is what does the trick, it seems.
(Betcha wish you'd never asked! ;-) )

On a serious level, I have a book which outlines what foods are good for various ailments, and I know that blood pressure is one of those things that it discusses. Do you want me to look at it for you?

It wouldn't hurt to look if you wouldn't mind... ;-)
The book reckons:
Bad to eat: salt, dairy, tea, coffee, cola, animal fats.
Re: The book reckons:
I can cut down on the salt. I shall have to increase my intake of the good stuff to counteract the fact that I cannot give up the bad stuff...

This worked for Steve Eason, who used to smoke 40 a day...

These are fine cure smoking aids if ever they did exist....
Just a present from Ireland, heh.
