And be sure and take your blood pressure as soon as you wake up in the morning and are coherent (some people wake up slowly -others quickly!). You could very well find it's much lower then...and that's more indicative of your true BP.

And prayer is good all the time - not just for this. And the med you are on is only a diuretic so it doesn't have the side effects some of the other BP meds do. Just be sure to not get dehydrated.
