I've been retired exactly 1 year and doing fine.
I know what you mean about the doctors. Half the time it seems like they just stumble around until they find something that works. I've always done my own research and don't just take a doctor's word for it, and I listen to what my body tells me.
I won't stop the BP mess though. I feel it when I'm late taking them. Got a family history and have had high BP since I was a teen. Didn't start the meds until I was in my mid 20s though.
I used to Trust our
Medical System implicitly.
Now they are lower
