You don't think having to choose between these two candidates for President is contributing to the nation's hypertension index?

I think that maybe when people are undergoing this treatment... lets treat the cause. Instead of prescribing a medication, start running or do something else to ease the hypertension. I have hypertension myself and I am not obese. I was prescribed a medication but instead of taking it I go running and prevent it from happening.
