On the other hand, my husband has a "natural" blood pressure high enough to put him in the hospital - even in his fit 20s. Additionally, at their worst, migraines for WEEKS and horrible insomnia. Now are they all likely related? Yup, husband is type A perfectionist. However, without his meds he (and I) are miserable.

I will say, I wish his Dr. would talk to him about other ways to keep some of this on track - he could prob. reduce the amounts of his meds through excersise, meditation (or at least learning to deal with lack of perfection in other people) and less processed food (my fault as much as his.)

There is definitly a place for Dr.s - but no excuse for not educating yourself too.
