NSV...got to discontinue a BP med

[jen120 23]

I am very happy to report that during my appt. with my primary MD on Wednesday, my blood pressure was 104/45. That is definitely low for me as I usually run 130/80 even on 4 different blood pressure meds. I had been experiencing some light headedness (new word) every time I stand up. My doctor concluded that with my weight loss and healthier lifestyle that we could drop one of my meds. I am very excited.

It is certainly nice to see the benefits of my surgery and all the hard work I am doing.

Doing a happy dance! :Banane02::Banane05::Banane04:

That is AWESOME! I so hope that I can drop my meds. I currently take stuff for HBP and cholesterol and use a CPAP. I could care less about my appearance, that isn't why I got banded on 7/28. My health is my concern, and I want to get off the meds and the CPAP. Your achievement makes this feel all the more worthwhile. Thanks for sharing this, and continued good wishes

I just got put on meds for Hbp! Last week I took it twice and it was 185/114 and 2 days later it was 167/109! I'm a walking strioke about to happen. My PCP will not be happy when she hears this on Monday. I can't wait for the LB so I can also get rid of some of these meds, highchol prediabetic ugh!!!!!!!!

That is totally Fantastic Jen ! Congratulations ! !

I know my husband is on a few of them, and I sure wish he could get off some of them,

but that's not possible for him. He would have to have WLS, and still no guarantee for him.

But that is super great to hear for you ! Just keep on doing what your doing. Cause you're doing the wright thing.....
