I'm just-about the calmest, most laid-back person I know, and I get plenty of exercise, and I eat well (lots of fruits and veggies, hardly ever use salt, etc.), but I still have to worry about my blood pressure. Doesn't seem fair, somehow.


Still, I was in for a follow-up visit today and the results are encouraging. After just four days on the medication, my b.p. is down to the high-normal range. So the physician and I are both hopeful that we can bring it down further. He wants to keep me on medication for another two weeks, and then we'll do a re-evaluation.

I'm stepping up my exercise routine and I've lost 3 pounds in just the past few days, so we're hopeful that with careful attention to diet and exercise, I can get off the pills.


Cheers,

Michael
