Report

I had been diagnosed with 140/90+ before 3 months. We established with doc that it was lifestyle and had high ggt+ sgpt. Was due to chronic alcohol abuse. Also smoked 20 cigarette a day for last few years. Had been smoking for 26 years (initially less but last 5 years 20+). Now no cig for 2 months however I do vape 6 mg stopped alcohol for a month nd stopped cigs. All blood reports were normal. Started alcohol in very less qty and moderation. Bp came down too to 130 /125 or less 85/80 or less initially had 10 mg calcium channel blocker reduced to 5 then heart beats were a bit high so started 2.5 mg nebi instead of calc blocker. Now I am weaning off and will stop all meds in 3 days (discussed with doc and approved by him. Have been exercising regularly and now increased to double of what I did (25+kms cycling and some weights). Diet with less sodium. Many other changes. Lost 7 kgs in 2 months (now 75) anything else you suggest I Do to avoid any effects as I stop meds and to keep bp under control.
