Thumbs up A Surprise from the Doctor!

Noooo,,, not another stork delivery...but lowered blood pressure! It has been borderline high for about 2 years now, taking a little Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) each day. But today...it was 122/82!

I commented to the dr, "You're kidding, right? I mean, I'm still overweight."

She replied "You are eating better now and exercising...and your'e watching your carbs with Atkins!"

WHOA!!

She also wanted to run a panel of bloodwork which Dr. Atkins strongly suggests in his DANDR anyway. This will keep an eye on the kidney activity with the low-carbs and HCT rx.

Does anyone else have success stories on their weight, blood pressure, or cholesterol from the doctor???

I'm all smiles...~Annie-Pie~
