That really sucks, he was so talented and Snowfall is some of the best TV in years.

Damn, he’s younger than me. But also this:
The statement also includes Singleton’s struggle with hypertension, stating that more than 40% of African American men and women also have high blood pressure, urging others to be aware of symptoms.
High BP is nothing to fool around with. Check your BP, get some exercise, get meds if you have to. I’ve been taking BP meds for years and mine is pretty stable. But when I first discovered it, my BP was in stroke territory.

Which is why I’m on HBP meds...so far this 6th attempt (variation #2) since January seems to be working. But it hasn't been a full week yet.

Wow... this reminds me of Luke Perry’s death ... only John Singleton was one year younger!
Time to do another writeup to help ‘assure’ people...

What are you taking? Many years ago an out of town doctor prescribed a beta blocker. When I got home, my doctor switched me to Losartan, and I’ve been taking it ever since. Of course, there is now a concert about tainted Losartan from a manufacturer in India.

RIP Mr. Singleton.

What! Wow. That’s really a surprise. I can’t think of anyone else with the level of impact John Singleton had on his first movie. His most successful/impactful work were movies he both wrote and directed.

Amlodipine 10mg. Losarten made my nose discharge in the middle of the night. When you wear a CPAP, it's no good.

No good indeed. I got a batch of Losartan from a different manufacture and it made my BP all wonky, one time down to 101/60. I made them give me the original manufacturer the next time and it’s better. Never hears of yours. Hope it works for you.
