Definately stay off until your bp goes down to normal!!! M-1t will make your bp sky roket. I know it did for me. Doc told me to stop taking or doing what ever it was I was doing, or I was asking for trouble. So just wait, and remember to start low, and then go from there depending on how you feel:thumbsup:! Especailly since you have a pre existing problem right now, it would not be worth the risk, just to gain 10 or so lbs.
