But you still have high blood pressure? Low carbs and intermittent fasting took my blood pressure down 25-30 pts, from the upper end of stage 1 hypertension to comfortably within normal even at the doctors office with no meds.

My blood pressure is fine.

I have no issues requiring any prescription.

Back in high school I had high blood pressure, 135/90-95 range. I went on a serious low carb diet and slimmed down to 150 lbs 5 10”. Kept it off about 20 years and for 3 years didn’t salt anything. My blood pressure stayed high unless I took medication. It’s genetic as my Dad is trim and diet conscious and still has high blood pressure. I have two brothers who deal with it and another brother and sister who have never had an issue.

Currently I’m on lisinopril and a half a fluid pill daily and it’s been stable at 120/76 range regardless of diet for nearly fifteen years. I take the lisinopril before bedtime and fluid pill each morning.
