Indeed, I've had my blood pressure checked.

Mine is constantly low.

i tried prozac for 5 days and i was ready to kill myself, came off them.

For me SSRI's were an absolute last resort, spent years and years trying different things. I wish I had just taken them sooner.

Not in my case. I drink lots of water all day every day (I go to the gym 5 days a week so it's one of the things i make sure to keep on top of along with my diet)

I've actually been to the doctors about it before and they've done blood tests etc and found nothing wrong. They said it could just be stress/tension headaches (I am a pretty stressy person to be fair)They told me not to worry unless i start having visual issues along with the headaches.

Try to avoid taking medication if I can help it, haven't been to the doc's in years. Most headaches can be cured by drinking water, the body can take care of a lot of other things itself. People underestimate their own body's abilities.

I will take tablets if my head is pounding though or if I've pulled something, etc.

My parents, both in their sixty's take all sorts daily though, my mum in particular. It does worry me.

You'll find this hard to believe but my sisters diastolic rate is never less than 120.
She has tried every pill there is but her body gets used to them and it goes back to above 120. She's also had operations when they thought other things were contributing.
She has been told she is a ticking time bomb :(
