That's weird because when I asked my Pdoc for an antihypertensive he said he usually doesn't prescribe them. I see him this Friday and I'm going to be more aggressive this time, I'll let you know what he says. If he refuses, I'll just ask my family doc for some and I'm sure he'll comply. How strange!Tyler
