I see where you are going, but HBP is not always about that. I had taken Benicar since my 30s and I'm 6'2" and never got above 215 lbs and I suffer from it... caused a hemorrhagic stroke right after I hit 50. I have a cousin who is 67 and has been on meds since his 20s . He's an athlete. Played college football, swims 3× a week and bikes in the Rockies as he lives in Denver. Has a BMI of under 10. The only way he doesn't stroke out is by taking 5 different meds a day at high dosage. Same with me. Different meds but still.
Same with my Dad and my grandfather. Sometimes unfortunately genetics is real.....but my brothers don't except they have high cholesterol and one has type 2 diabetes.....and he's the thin one. In contrast I have very controlled blood sugar and real low cholesterol.
