Snoslinger Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) had my 6 month follow up with my cardio doc yesterday. blood pressure was 110/77, and no changes in my gradient (related to my heart valve performance). so things are steady which is good. I told him to send you my medical records so we can keep your expertise in the loop. Edited March 23, 2018 by Snoslinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 You can pretty much get yourself off of BP meds by just eliminating caffeine and table salt (sea salt is ok). I did it years ago. Havent had high blood pressure since. Table salt has aluminum in it(anti caking agent), cause all kinds of health issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still looking at some form of open heart surgery to have the valve replaced. likely a robot assisted, smaller incision process, as opposed to the traditional method of open chest cavity. so as long as things don't worsen, i can postpone the surgery. i attribute the "no-changes" to significant reduction in alcohol, more exercise, less table salt, and meds. one of the meds limits water retention, and when combined with drinking alcohol (which also dehydrates the body) I'd get massive hangovers. i asked the doc what i could do about that problem and he said i could try stopping the med and monitor my BP. if it rises, try every other day dosage.
