Today, I checked in with the PA at my place of employment as I do every Tuesday and Thursday. My BP was 108/72. she mentioned that i might need to have my Dr. adjust my meds since this was pretty low and I had lost "so much weight". I called the Dr. and he cut my meds in half and will evaluate their need in two weeks. Boooo Ya!
THANK you ALL. This is your victory too!

Good for you! I was just put on BP meds last week. I am determined to get off of them as soon as possible through healthy choices. Thank you for showing me that it can be done!0

Yeah, I was on a hypertension medication too. My normal readings at my heaviest were around the 140/110 range. I lost so much weight that I had to stop it myself because I had a reading of 106/39 the other day. Right now it's 116/56, 2 days after stopping it. At least I don't feel like passing out as much as I used to for the past month.
But yes, weight loss does lower BP, cholesterol, and glucose [I'm also a diabetic]. Exercise does, indeed, do wonders.0 -
Congratulations! That's a real victory.
The same happened to me. My BP went down over 20 points, and now I won't have to go on meds!!0 -
Not off yet, but I will be. Also a diabetic but showing a huge improvement and hopefully will be moving toward no meds there tooGood for you! I was just put on BP meds last week.
