I was diagnosied with familial hypertention in my twenties, got worse the heavier i got and when i started smoking (was the choicei made after a really rough break up as it was sit on the porch, talk in circles with my sisterand her hubby and eachpuff was a big eff you to my ex or drink myself stupid and risk my job... i was a baby alcholic thenand wasn't in full swing then, my coping skills still suck). I had bad constipation and my muscles and joints ached and i couldnt do much of anything without my muscles burning and fatiguing when i took Naltrexone 50 mg qd, my NP told me to do every other day and was much better

Hi Sekhmet,. I am suffering from most of those things as well. I know one thing about high blood pressure, it's caused from drinking you're only 35 you should not have it. If you quit drinking your blood pressure will go back to normal, no more pills!
