I'm Off One Of My Bp Meds!

Happy to report that I got to say goodbye to my HCTZ! (And Potassium ... can't do one without the other!) I'm down 19 lbs since July. My BP is stabilized and hanging right in there around 120/75. Hooray!! A small hurdle because I still have one to go. Will be over the moon when I can lose the other one too! Looking forward to my first fill on the 26th.

Oh gosh ... I didn't even think about that. I have those too! Good luck to you Jas!

Was on BP meds for nearly 15 years and was taken off them six weeks ago. Super happy with this NSV.

..and was on two meds then one and now none

  • 2 weeks later...

The hospital ER doctor told me to stop my BP meds a few weeks after surgery. I wound up in the ER with flashing lights in my vision.....I thought it was a signs of a detached retina. Turns out my BP was so low, I the flashing I saw was signs of passing out. My BP was below 80/60.

Since I stopped the BP meds, my BP is in the 110/70 range. That was the first sign, besides weight, that things were going well after this surgery for me. And it saved me a $25 per month co-pay for the meds.

I am so happy for you and everyone else on this page. No BP Pills would be a miricle for me. Congratulations/

What a blessing, congratulations!
