Maybe a nephrologist can tell me what to do differently.

But there are so many. I hope they can find something for you.

Or Sunday shows

which went up when I was trying to run interference for elderly parents in FL all the way from NM. When that ended, blood pressure drugs started to put me on the floor so I went off 'em.

I agree with the OP that referral to a nephrologist for blood pressure that doesn't respond well to the usual medications should be done sooner rather than waiting for creatinine levels to climb.

But my MD friend (anesthesiologist ) says nephrologists are experts on blood pressure

Were they dietary? Lifestyle? Medications? I'm curious to know!

My blood pressure was way too high to fix with diet. If I could lose a bunch of weight, I could fix it, but I'm currently waiting for a hip replacement and can't exercise, so there's currently no way for me to lose weight.

a nephrologist monitoring my BP since the late eighties. First started with kidney stones in early eighties, then he took care of my BP several years later as it increased.

So far, nothing seems to help. I thought when I lost all this weight, it would go back to normal. I went from being over 220 lbs to my current weight of 92 lbs. Still fighting my BP.

I don't think anything other than *rump being dead or in jail, and R's being a dead party is gonna help it long term. Never had the problem before *T got selected as Prez. So yes, I blame it all on him and R party!

There are so many meds. Two doesn’t even scratch the surface. You don’t have to give up.

I have a feeling we’ll do really well in the 2024 election, but that won’t provide relief until January 2025. And who knows when Trump will face prison time?

I’m heartened that the “moderates” in the House seem to have finally had enough of the MAGAts and are striking back.
