I've been on BP pills for years now. It's 100% genetic. It was high when I was unfit and barely improved after losing weight and getting fitter.
I could have 3 coffees and have normal BP, and some days, it's high because it wants to be.
Wow. My husband lost about 20 kgs. Went from the highest dosage to now the lowest. He was having frequent migraines and now has none.
I've never actually had any symptoms apart from the BP itself. I'm on a low dose and it's working well.
To be fair, my BP was on the low end of 'high'.
Interestingly my mum has low blood pressure and takes meds for it.
Tbh my lifestyle probably isn't helping either ๐คฃ
Well I have seen your breakfast choices. You do love a salty nood or two.
You got this! โค๏ธ
