Great news that you have got your blood pressure down. Well done!

I would say that whilst elevated, it was not dangerously high to start with and that a combination of lifestyle changes and medication have got it down to a significantly improved level.

I think you should now have a chat with your GP. Maybe it may be safe to reduce or even stop your medication if you can continue to implement the lifestyle changes that are obviously having a positive impact on your health.

But obviously now it has been picked up that you are prone to high blood pressure, whilst you may not need meds it is also a condition that is going to need continued and regular monitoring from now on.

The inescapable fact is that as we age BP and cholesterol can become a recurring issue for many of us.

But in your case you have done the right thing by getting the issue diagnosed before it becomes a serious problem and while you are still young enough to do something about it.

All the best!👍👏👏👏
