No More HBP!!!

That's it, I am off high-blood pressure medicine!!! It took six months, but it happened. Let's hope I can stay off....Dr. B. said I have to check it in a couple of weeks, and make sure it's still good....My HBP is also a genetic issue, my Dad had for years and he was of normal weight, so I always thought I was doomed to have it.....so, I am keeping fingers and toes (yes I can cross my toes! HaHa!!) crossed!! WOW, I have had high blood pressure for the last 12 years!

In other words, hurray for YOU, Anna!

Anna with the banana,

That is such WONDERFUL news!  I am so, so happy for you!  It is such a pleasure to get rid of medications and make it one less thing  to have to remember and think about.  I'll bet all that exercise you're doing doesn't hurt anything either!

Please monitor closely since we love you!

That is WONDERFUL!!!! It is such a blessing to get off some of the meds we have had to take.  Good for you!

Wow! That is awsome!! Isn't it amazing how many things it affects?? This is also good to know that not all things happen right after surgery....Thanks for posting that!    Sherry

I also have a strong family history but i have been off my meds since March , and i was on them darn near 20 years , so it can and will happen for you too!! congrats , i know what a big deal being off those meds is

That is wonderful news! I hope that your BP stays under control and you can stay off the meds.

That is so exciting!!!  I think your blood pressure med money should go into your "reward" fund to buy you something new to celebrate your success!!!

AMY YOUR A GENIOUS. I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT YOU ARE RIGHT. DR. B TOOK ME OFF OF MY MEDS AT MY APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY. I AM OFFICIALLY OFF BP, CHOLESTEROL, AND MY CRAZY PILL. SO LETS  SEE THAT WILL SAVE ME ROUGHLY AROUND 65 DOLLARS A MONTH, WOW  IT'S ALMOST LIKE GETTING PAID FOR HAVING SURGERY. GOSH I LOVE MY NEW SELF AND EVERYTHING THE "PINKY" HAS DONE FOR ME. HUGS TO YOU

Yeah for Anna!  That's awesome!  I'm hoping I can go off my HBP next month when I have my follow-up with Dr. W.  I've been on that medication since 1987!!!  A LONG time.  I've had my BPM reduced considerably and only have to take one pill now but I'm not totally off ....YET.
