weight loss = lower meds!!

irishkiss · September 2011

Went to the doctor because I lost my weight and was worried about my blood pressure being too low. When I stood I got dizzy and my site would start to blacken in. Soooo.. he cut my blood pressure med in half and I may not need it at all anymore!! I go back in 2 weeks and Ive been keeping track of it to show how low it still is. It runs 102 over 60..kinda low for me and Im still having problems when I stand up. Still its a wonderful VICTORY!!!

That's exactly what happened to me. My doctor cut my in half last visit, and I'm hoping next visit he totally takes me off the high blood pressure meds.
It scared me when I got dizzy.

Thats great!

I wasn't on meds but was close to it. When I went in for my check up after losing 25 lbs she asked if I was feeling ok... I asked her why and she told me my blood pressure was so much lower and almost considered too low!

Keep it up! These NSV's are better than weight loss sometimes!

Congratulations! I'm sort of hoping that might happen for me, too, in a while - the drop in blood pressure and meds necessary rather than the faintness, obviously - as I'm fed up with being a human maracca! Great news for you and your body: I'm thrilled for you.
