Well I am still taking the blood pressure medicine I was prescribed before this diet marathon started, and I have to say I am loathe to give it up. I am only taking 12.5 mg of one and 25 mg of the other. The 12.5 is a water pill and I really don't want to give it up. Really I don't. But it is probably time to go talk with the doctor about my blood pressure. But I don't want to give up the water pill (oh yea I already said that.) And when I gave up the Atenolol I got bad heart burn. Oh what is a girl to do.
So when I started my blood pressure was so high I thought that they wouldn't let me in the program. The doctor told me that they usually take people completely off the blood pressure medicine at the start, but she had to up mine. I got off the medicine that she upped and she talked about cutting back on the other, but I just wasn't ready to give up the water pill. Oh yea I already said that. I do have a few more months since it is still about 110 over 75, but I know the time is coming...And when I start fainting I will know the time has come.

You might not need it anymore.
