Blood Pressure NSV
I had had high blood pressure from the beginning of eating low carb, through my lowest weight, years of running and swimming, years of trying to relax it away, eat better, etc. It got stuck high and medication was the talk with some providers but it never progressed to that. My mother has bad high blood pressure so I figure it would just keep going up until I had to be medicated, too.
About a year and a half ago, after bouts of illness that left me couchbound and climbing to the highest weight since I started low carb, it suddenly dropped to normal for no reason at all. It's been hovering around 125/85 for that time, but the other night the nurse got a reading of 107/67 which is more my "normal" from before it went high.
No idea what I did. Maybe it just took years of healing on LC, and hoping it sticks.
