preacherman Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Went to the doctor 1 and 1/2 weeks ago for a kidney infection and he dropped the bomb on me that my blood pressure was a little high (160/90) so he put me on a diet and told me to come back every week and a half and weigh and have my blood pressure checked. Then to come back to him in a month and do blood work and go from there. Well, I went in today for my first check up and in 1 and 1/2 weeks I have lost 7 pounds and my blood pressure is now at 146/86. They were really proud and so am I! Hope this continues so that we don't have to go on medicine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: Good News!!!!! Good for you. My BP has been borderline high for years, and I've been on and off BP medicine a couple times. Trust me, diet and exercise is the way to control it, the BP medicine made me pretty loopy. **go ahead Tom, door's wide open** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Re: Good News!!!!! You call THAT high? I went for something unrelated to blood pressure and the nurse measured it....left and came back in 10 minutes....measured it again.....got a different cuff.....the doc came in and measured it. He looked at my pupils and asked "are you feeling all right?". Uhhhh, yep....why? Blood pressure is high. Oh really, how high? 190 / 140 !!!!! Now THAT's high. Good for you on the weight loss and the blood pressure. Drink lots of water as it will help with the pressure also. Good luck, New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
