> > What would i do? I would go back to the 9 mg. patch that made you "feel better than you have in ages" and take salt pills..you can get them at Wal-Mart or any drug store. Drink more water and add a lot of salt to your food..that is what i would do.

> I went down to 6mg yesterday & today because I was feeling so bad and want to see if it gets my bp down. I had to go to 4 different stores before I could find salt pills! (my walmart & walgreens didn't have them) Have been drinking more water and eating more salt for the past week but no change yet. I think if my bp goes down at 6mg, I might try going up with a quarter patch rather than adding back the half patch.

> Thanks for your suggestions!!!Good Idea..quarter patch..why didn't i think of that? ha ha :) Just REALLY increase your salt intake and i think you'll be fine. God Bless You!
