๒๏₪ 🐝 STIL NOTDED 🌻 :donor:<p>Last year I decided to stop living with <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HBP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HBP</span></a> </p><p>I was already doing the obvious: rarely taking NSAIDS, walking at least 30 mins everyday, and vegetarian.</p><p>The doctor doubled my meds. I had a bad reaction and stopped taking lisiniprol (after discovering it is not recommended for more than 5 yrs).</p><p>I started monitoring at home regularly, searching for patterns.</p><p>Cut sodium to <1 tspn/day, stopped taking HRT, cut adderall from 20 mg to 5 mg, and cut all alcohol.</p><p>Still too high. Started taking amlodipine. That stuff is amazing! But still regularly 145-165/90-110. The diastolic is the stickiest.</p><p>I switched to decaf a couple of weeks ago and started a working out with weights. More often than not my BP 117-128/78-84.</p><p>It’s been a lot of changes 😅 my new goal is to stabilize the blood pressure.</p><p>My dad died of an aortic aneurism at 57. Momento mori 💀</p>
