Gregory,
Thanks for the information. I'll bookmark the site. My doctor told me that
in most cases, it's impossible to determine why a person has high blood
pressure. She said that in most cases--it's caused by atherosclerosis.
However, I don't think that is my problem since my chol. reading in my
most recent blood test was below normal. I seem to recall that at least
one doctor in a magazine article said that there is always a reason for a
person having high blood pressure but it's not always easy or possible to
locate or trace down the reason that a person has high blood pressure. I'm
just trying to find the reason. While I was reading about Polycystic
Kidney disease--it mentioned that one symptom is a problem with
fingernails. One of fingernails is split and my brother has little white
spots on his fingernails.
