45 for hypertension and mid 50's for Lipitor.
I take the lipitor very infrequently. It does a number on cholesterol. If I take it 2xs a week I get to total 175 and LDL around 70.
I have been on two different blood pressure meds.
Watch out for the diuretic that often is prescribed with or in addition to the blood pressure. I did a water fast a few years ago and got in serious doo doo when my magnesium and potassium levels tanked. I thought I was having a heart attack. The diuretic can strip you of minerals if you arent careful.
