And I don't know, so I'd be curious about that.

But what that leads to is that if someone is on a blood pressure medicine where they take it once a day, is there a best time to take it?

Because the debate is, well, you should take it

in the evening before you go to bed because stroke incidence tends to be higher earlier in the morning?

Or does it not make a difference with the one-a-day medicines that, you know, the level of medicine in your bloodstream and its impact on blood pressure?

It just won't make a difference.

So I'd be curious to know where that lands in terms of blood pressure control.

Okay.

Well, I think one thing that the health belief issue is also called denialism.

Right.

Being able to deny.

So I guess the takeaways from a summary standpoint regarding blood pressure.

is that medication isn't the be all end all for controlling blood pressure.

And what I really liked in our conversation today is that there's really a menu of many choices that we call them lifestyle, but it's things like smoking, drinking, physical activity, diet,

You know, sleep, stress reductions.

That's like a half a dozen of them.

And all of us like to have choices in our life.

Right.

I mean, you know, the more choices it seems that, you know, the better.

So at one level, you're free to make choices.
