I went back to the doctor today to have my blood pressure checked again and it was a success! 118/87. Can you believe it. I know Im on medication but I was sure I was going to walk in there and it be still too high.
The benefits of it being low are that:
1. I dont have to take any more medication; and
2. My hard work is paying off.
My doctor said that he felt diet and exercise were just as important as medication - so I am making alot of positive moves in my life.
Its nice to have the confirmation that all is going well. I did have a heart rate of 96bpm but he didnt seem worried about that after I told him my resting rate yesterday was 79bpm. I think it was anxiety!
So back in a fortnight to have it checked again.
