Thank God for this thread! I've been contemplating starting one on this very topic. My Bp started spiraling out of control just 3 months ago (gotta love genetics). I have not noticed any thinning, but I did notice that my growth rate slowed waayyyyyy down. I should note that, I use joico kpak (gvp brand) weekly as well as nettle tea rinse mixed with bhringraj,Amla and brahmi once a week. I am relaxed and just finished a 22 week stretch. I'm usually a 12-14 week stretcher, but due to the high blood pressure and other issues, I have had zero energy. I normally get 1/2 inch a month and after almost six months, I had barely 2 inches

erplexed.
I take bisoprolol 10mg once a day. I had to take HCTZ also for a couple of weeks and have stopped that. As well as the high blood pressure, my heart rate was out of control too (in the 160s) and I am currently being evaluated/ worked up for sarcoidosis vs. lymphoma (cancer) too.....and I just turned 38. Only about 15 pounds overweight and was pretty healthy, until all this. So I have had to take a crapload of medicine over the last 4 weeks. Steroids, bp meds, antibiotics.... Hope I don't have cancer too
I also want to add that to make sure that you clear with your doctor what supplements your are taking as some don't mix with bp meds (like rosemary, and grapefruit).
