Michael,
That is good news. You know our bodies have a way of telling us when we are messing up. You are very fortunate that you found the problem quickly so you could act on it and get good results. You lose what weight you need to and stay healthy and you will probably not even have to take HBP meds for life. Your BP is good now. That is probably with your medication but again, if you do right, you will probably be able to stop it. Drs don't usually tell us to do that ... they say take it forever most always. I think they get carried away writing prescriptions sometimes personally when we can make it without them. Congratulations.
