[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 242772, member: 42264"] I think your main priority is to get your blood pressure under control. I’d recommend continuation of your lisinopril and buy a high-quality blood pressure cuff. Check your pressure at least once a day. When you do, sit down. Uncross your legs. Make sure you don’t have to go to the bathroom. Relax. It’s reasonable to check it 2 to 3 times in one setting. Sometimes the number fluctuates. If possible, get one of the blood pressure monitors that automatically logs your pressure for you. Exercise may not be possible for you right now per your physician, but you can start cleaning up your diet right away. Start with cutting out the obvious stuff like highly refined sugary stuff, soda, etc. Before embarking on a radical diet, I think it’s important to educate yourself thoroughly so you know what you can eat. There’s no one “perfect“ diet, but much of the literature seems to suggest that Mediterranean consistently performs well in studies. That said, I don’t follow Mediterranean. I am relatively low carb, and it is worked well for me. start with the low hanging fruit. If you drink soda, stop right away. You may have to manipulate your TRT because of your blood pressure, but there are certainly other variables that you can manipulate as well, such as diet and exercise. Keep in mind, changes related to diet and exercise will occur gradually and not overnight. however, with your pressure is high as it’s been, you do need some relatively quick action and that’s why you need to follow the advice of your primary care physician and stay on your lisinopril and watch your pressure closely. you may have to temporary go on a combination of lisinopril and a diuretic, which is a pain. Whatever medication‘s you start, keep in mind, they can always be peeled back as you clean up your lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
