Only proceed with this thread if you are aware of that. Debloating is one of the best techniques to drastically improve you

Hi everyone, I’ve recently joined this group and I hope it’s okay to share my story with you all. I know how isolating living with cardiomyopathy and heart failure can feel, and I’ve found a lot of comfort in reading about others' experiences here. I’ve been incredibly nervous about sharing any of t

So for those unfamiliar with me or my case, back in late 2021-early 2022 I was diagnosed with heart failure (thanks Covid). EF was low 20's. Fast forward, I was able to recover my EF to almost 60% and dropped 140lbs on top of it. My average blood pressure today is 110/69. This is massive to me, my b

I’m a 32M and went almost my entire 20s not worrying about or even checking my blood pressure. When I was 30 I began having tachycardia episodes with high blood pressure readings which I had to go to ER for 3 times in a period of a few months with my readings at around 190/100 I got on losartan 100

Today went to see my cardiologist and no longer need to take losartan nor atorvastatin ! Got to a healthy weight and good diet that he said I no longer need the medication. Hopefully I can stay off it from now on. Im 5,8 went from 225lbs down to 185, eating a lot of food with high sodium to no/low

Hi, how is it going. Today I'm officially off blood pressure meds completely. With lifestyle changes, low sodium diet, low sugar, aerobic exercise and weight loss. I had blood pressure in the 170 to 180 systolic in January of 2025 after heart surgery on November 2024. I was 230 pounds and am current

I wanted to share with this group since I’ve gained so much value from this forum. Sometimes I think people don’t share their positive results enough, and it can really skew people’s ideas of what medicating hypertension will be like. I put off getting medicated for 15 years. My story was basically

I take 100 mg of Losartan daily, but before meds I was easily in the 140-150/90-100 range. Even after taking medication I was usually in the 130/90+ range. My resting heart rate used to sit at about 110 too. I felt like shit and my bod was so tense. But recently I stopped drinking and smoking and be

25M. When I was first diagnosed with hypertension (late 2022), I was hesitant to start any synthetic medication. I tried the “natural” route first — mainly beetroot juice. It did help a bit, but having to constantly buy, wash, cut, and juice beets was too time-consuming with my schedule as a univers

My blood pressure (seemingly) started giving me problems beginning of this year and I was put on losartan 50mg. I take that once a day and it seems to control my BP well (below 130/80). However, in the 4 months I've been on this medication, I've noticed when I'm on my period, my blood pressure shoot
