Getting off of Blood Pressure Meds

About two years ago I was struck suddenly (or what seemed like suddenly) with high blood pressure. I was 28 years old and being told I had high blood pressure. Was I overweight...yes! I went through batteries of testing to try and figure out what was causing my high blood pressure all of a sudden and everything came back normal...other than my weight!

I went through a period of depression after that. I had actually even lost weight prior to being diagnosed with high blood pressure. I kept kind of working out, kinda of losing weight, kinda watching what I ate....all on blood pressure meds. I had actually resigned myself to the fact that I was young and on bp meds and would be the rest of my life.

That is...until about 1.5 weeks ago. I was getting really frustrated lately because I was feeling really strange, somewhat lethargic, a bit light headed, and couldn't figure out what was going on. I have been making great strides in my body transformation and weight loss since January of this year. In fact...I have dropped ~10% bodyfat and several inches of fat all over my body! Around the same time I happended to run out of bp medication...and in order to refill it I needed to schedule an appointment with my doc. Well...my schedule has been crazy and I just haven't been able to see the doctor...so I haven't made the appointment until today...for later this week.

I was initially worried as I have run out of bp medication before and usually within 1-2 days my bp is really high, I have bad headaches, and I am miserable. Guess what...not so this time....my bp has been normal (120s/70s) and no headaches! I am feeling great...and actually have tons of energy! I am hoping that the doc says...stop taking my bp meds and monitor it for the next several weeks to see what happens!

I am hoping and praying that I have finally put my life in the right direction to improve my health and keep me off of bp meds for a very long time...if not forever!
