I am at the lowest weight I have been in a long time. I am down from four blood pressure pills to three a day. So I went to Walmart to shop. Before I was half way finished I felt so weak and tired I wasn't sure I could finish. When I went near the pharmacy to get my Gas X, I saw the blood pressure machine and used it as an excuse to sit down. While there I might as well check my blood pressure again. It was 170/110 after surgery. Today it was 110/58. I suspect the weakness is related to not being used to such a low number. I hope I see two pills today in my near future.

 

So, weight loss=lowered blood pressure =weakness=less medicine.

    That is great news. You should go to your Dr. he may even take you off your meds. That happened to me I felt weak and light headed. I went to the Dr. and he took me off of the meds. I was taking 2 pills a day.
