I guess I was lucky. When my Dad had a stroke, he went to my internist and had a history with him. At 47, he was treating me, and I developed HBP and he told me that mine was genetic because it was the same kind Daddy had. Told me that I could do little but take meds and lower my sodium intake which I had done after my first pregnancy and never went up again because of my Obg-gyn and that meant to me, I had little chance of going off of again, no matter what I did. Little matters it seems with mine, I was exactly the same age as my Dad was..
