Here's a new, semi-related question I've got:
I've never been highly tolerant of cold weather (wife says it is because I have so little fat on me, I don't think that means much). Since last spring I have been taking Avalide to reduce blood pressure (was 14X/9X, now 11X/7X).
Is there any likelihood that having lower blood pressure would cause me to be less comfortable in cold weather, or what else could cause the discomfort. This winter I am having a terrible time getting used to the cold. The coats that were warm enough for all of last winter are just not warm enough any more -- and I'm not old enough to retire to a warm climate yet.
Any ideas?
