Hi - I just took my blood pressure and it was 117 over 69 - I had been put on pills back in September - but over the last two months, ive actively done some significant lifestyle changes,im losing weight, I have cut out salt and im just wondering if this continues if I should maybe talk to my Dr about going off the pills?  Cause this morning when I took my pill a few moments later, I felt a little weird?
Hello, You are still having your pills or have you already stopped it. This BP reading is on pills or off pills. So if on pills then it means your BP is controlled on medicine and stopping it will lead to increased BP. if not then you can continue without pills provided you monitor your BP regularly.  You should continue healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
