soooo amazed! BP norm!
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!!!!
