I’ve had hypertension since my 30s. Been on multiple meds for decades. When I lost the 100 lbs. after my husband died, my blood pressure was low so my NP cut my doses in half. I was doing great till I started gaining most of that weight back, and now I’m going to have to go back up on the meds. I’m too old to mess around with this and have stage 3 chronic kidney disease to boot. Hypertension killed most of my relatives on my mother’s side of the family by leading to heart disease. I gotta do something about this weight.
