Gregory asked:


I didn’t have issues with high blood pressure until I got married or gained 65 lbs. Im not sure which is causing it because it varies from day to day. Ive lost about 70 lbs and im starting to get lightheaded a lot more and my blood pressure is a lot lower than it used to be. Im afraid that it might be getting too low and I can definately live without the side effects.

      Don’t adjust or stop taking highpertension medication without your doc’s guidance. It can lead to a POSSIBLE heart attack or stroke.
