Myth about HBP: Drs and drug companies are always lowering the cut off for high blood pressure so they can make more money. False. No part of medicine is better supported by research for over 60 years that lowering BP by meds increases the age at which you will die and decreases the amount of your life you will live suffering from the complications of HBP: stroke, heart attack and heart/kidney failure.
