[Diana in Wisconsin]

Trying my hardest to stay off of BP meds. Dad had high BP, but he also had a cr@ppy diet and a sedentary life.

Mom has low BP, and I fall in between them. I am currently on a mild diuretic per my Doc at the VA.

Walking more, cutting out the booze and carbs, cut out caffeine, the usual.

So far, so good.

"Trying my hardest to stay off of BP meds. Dad had high BP, but he also had a cr@ppy diet and a sedentary life."

I just lost 20 pounds over the last two months by reducing carbs and quantity.
My blood pressure plunged...I reduced my daily dose of BP medicine by 50% as a consequence
