I, too, was a product of some recipe the Doctor gave my mother in 1955 in  
Ohio.  I have been on medication for hypertension since about one year  after my 
son was born.  So nearly 21 years.  Actually at age 19 I had  issues with the 
Birth Control Pill.  VERY HIGH.  It took a year  of close monitoring at the 
Ohio State Cardiac Center while I attended the  university there.  I was able 
to come off of the medications.  I did  have mild issues at the end of the 
pregnancy with one and in labor  with the other but did birth all natural, one 
with Mag Sulfate. I had  times in my mid twenties where I would go back to be 
reassessed because my blood  pressure was borderline (prior to my children).  
There was no history in  the family of anyone having issues at a young age.  My 
brother is asthmatic  (better with age), my sister has bad issues with 
depression and has always had  issues picking up every bug that goes around, as does 
her daughter, whom she did  not breastfeed.
