    Ignore the bozo that answered. He thinks that dehydration causes all medical problems and has NO formal, graduate medical training.

    Norvasc is actually a great med for BP. If you want to reduce it, discuss the matter with your doctor.

    Alternative meds depend VERY much on the individual patient.

    Never ignore your doc's advice. If their reasoning seems unreasonable or unclear, talk to them before doing something on your own. http://bit.ly/1VZfFv5
