Thank you for the response. I will obtain the remedies. I have Hawthorne herbal capsules (565 mg) available. May I take those instead (or in addition) or would you prefer I obtain the crataegus remedy?

I had to order the crategus and still have not received it. I did take the sepia for 3 days and have taken the herbal hawthorne 3 times a day for about 14 days.

The blood pressure has lowered from average 165/95 to about 146/85. No difference in the tinnitus.

I received the crataegus and started it yesterday. I will report after a week. Thank you.

The blood pressure has lowered but is still high. No change in the tinnitus. Any additional advice?

Since my original advisor has not given additional advice, does anyone else have anything to add? Thank you.

Update: my blood pressure now averages 145/85, but sometimes the lower reading does go below 80. No change in the tinnitus. Thank you.
