I’m pretty sure JT is a pretty big heavy dude. That alone is going to drive BP.
I definitely agree you shouldn’t use meds you don’t really need to, BUT I will say all of the experienced voices I have heard say if you need it then you should use it. Kinda changed my views on it. If you are going to be 300lbs running gear and living large, you should do what it takes to keep as healthy as possible. You don’t get any style points for not taking Lisinopril at the dialysis center when you’re in renal failure.
