Greetings. I am a 41 yr old female with hypertension 148/112 average. I was recently put on atenelol 50mg daily. I suffer chest pain [possible angina]. I am a long distance truck driver[spelling off my husband] and we cross Canada twice a month. Is there anyone else out there with the same lifestyle,female preferred, who has the same symptoms and what lifestyle changes have you made. I exercise regularly[walking], meditate, use prayer and attend church regularly. I weigh approx 180[ouch] which I know is a no-no and I am working on that. I don't smoke and I don't drink. Dr. thinks it is combination of stress and heredity. I would sure like to hear from someone in the same predicament. Thanks Eva. ps: I check my email frequently on the road.
