I've always had high blood pressure, even in High School (20+ years ago) when I was in reasonably athletic shape.
Borderline high, but it was almost always over 120/80, with 135/90 being typical. As I got older, it started climbing, and
I've been on BP meds for the past 8-10 years or so. I check it with a little portable home BP tester, and it has been
fairly steady with the meds, still always borderline high, but steady.
Until this morning. 118/78. I couldn't believe it, so I checked it again. 119/76. Ok, so it is not earth-shatteringly,
amazingly incredibly low, but it is below Normal. For the first time in years. Twice! Yes!
I've lost about 14 pounds since starting LDL so far, and an inch or so off my waist, and now my BP levels are
approaching normal. I couldn't stop grinning. Normally my Monday mornings never start off this well.
Wishing everyone a great week! Mine is starting off pretty well.
