Felodipine For High Blood Pressure

One of things many diabetics have to deal with including me is high blood pressure. One of the meds I take is called Felodipine. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard. Again as is the case with all prescription drugs, it controls your blood pressure but does NOT heal the condition. In other words, I do not take it because I have a felodipine deficiency. I take it because until I come up with something better, it makes it so, I can walk around without high blood pressure which in and of itself causes a multitude of problems.
