ByeBye high BP!

Mar 26, 2011

I have had high blood pressure for about 25 years now.  I have been on two different meds per day. One of them was at the highest dose allowed.  My "norm" was about 155/95.  that's where it pretty much stayed all the time, but I have seen it go up to as high as 174/106.   When I would go to the Dr, they always questioned my BP, but I would just let them know, that was normal for me.
until my Sleeve......
right after surgery, I came off of my secondary bp meds.  As of three days ago.. I am off all my BP meds.!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so used to being on them, that honestly, it feels weird not to take them and Im scared something is going to happen.  The opposite started happening.  I was feeling dizzy, and lightheaded at times, so my surgeon and GP told me it might be my bp meds are no longer needed.  so I went off and here are my results..
So far all three days, we have been taking my bp about every three hours just to make sure (partly because I can't believe it).  my readings have been:
125/70         121/65        120/72     120/64    those are just some of the readings.  we are keeping track on a journal.  120/80 is the normal range. 
As my British friend would say,  I AM GOBBSMACKED!!  in total shock and awe!  after spending most of my life with high bp, this is so new to me and so awesome!  maybe no longer do I have to worry about having a stroke or heart attack because of my bp.  I feel so healthy with these readings!   This sleeve surgery is truely a miracle for me!  a life saver!
once again, I am doing the happy dance!!!!
