Hello everyone its been very quiet on this forum recently, this morning I have been reading that the most important bp reading is your central bp in your aorta and not your arm bp, has anyone else heard of this???

      Amlodipine and Perindopril each caused side effects and beetroot juice YUK! 

      I have had three appointments and a lot of negative tests at the Hypertension Centre but no thoughts as to how to control my BP and next appointment not until July. Meanwhile my GP is referring me back to cardiology after a paroxysmal AF incident brought on by a rectal examination of my prostate again causing stimulation of my vagus nerve. A beta blocker put me back in rhythm in a few days but it brought my already low heart rate down into the 30's.

      Actually just been reading about it and it claims that most times it's lower when taken via that method, so maybe they should get busy and find away to check it that way so some people could come off the meds and some want have to go on them
