Doctor recommendation

Having been someone who has battled hypertension for most of my adult life, I have now come to the point where medication is being prescribed. My doctor said no cardio or weights until the BP comes down. I don't feel that this doctor has the necessary background with regard to athletics and would like to find another for a second opinion.

So, I'm pleading with all the wonderful RATS that if you have a good doctor who works well with you and your lifestyle and is in the Reston/Fairfax area - please let me know. I am fine following her directions for this week but come my follow up on Monday, so changes may need to be made.

Thanks in advance!
