Hi Florence, I am not sure what ad you might have seen on my blog. They are completely random (so far as I know) from the ad agencies that put them there. I’m sorry I can’t be of help for this. If you have high blood pressure you may want to seek medical attention and ask for possible remedies/medications to help you. My family has a history of high blood pressure and it can cause very serious issues if it goes untreated. Wishing you the best, Rhondda
I saw on your web something about taking a item for lowering your high blood pressure
