Yes, I have hypertension, but it is under control now. I was taking 100 mg of Losartan and it was dropped to 50 mg. I was also taking 5 mg of bisoprolol which they dropped down to 2 1/2 and finally took me off of it completely a few months ago. Yep, I see those triglycerides are just a few points below the desirable number, and the HDL could be better also. I would like to see those lower, but in comparison to what they used to be, they are pretty good now, so I’m moving in the right direction. I’m looking back at where these numbers used to be four and five years ago and wondering why I’m still upright! I have had stress tests as well as my annual CT coming up and had echo in May. I have an ascending aortic aneurysm that’s at 4.1 cm., so it’s at the “watch” state. I just read a little about PKS9 Inhibitors (??? name may be a little off??). I have to look more into it, but it’s on the list for my doctor. I don’t think it’s in the cards that I’ll be able to eliminate medication in this area completely, but I’m hoping to find something easier on the body that works. Any more insights? I really appreciate your help!
