If you use Niacin, be sure that your doctor follows up with testing.
Also, use traditional Niacin, which may be hard to find, instead of the
"no flush" and "timed release" versions which don't work as well and
cause stomach problems on many people.

I would talk to your doctor about what his intended blood pressure range
is for you. You may be one of those people who's blood pressure jumps
when they are in the doctor's office and you are being over medicated.
I'd suggest that you get a home blood pressure testing kit and test
yourself at home, and bring that testing kit in with you to the doctor
next time and compare readings in the doctor's office.
Most "water pill" type of blood pressure medicines can cause impotence,
but your body should adjust within a month or two to the new pressure
levels and the impotence may go away.
