Thanks for the detailed update. It's fascinating how all that stuff works together. Or doesn't.

I'm happy to hear you are on board now. In hindsight, it appears it was a mistake to stop taking the high blood pressure meds.

I hear about your experiences and think about how it might apply to my own situation. If I am ever told I should take high blood pressure medicine, I'm sure part of me would be weighing the cost vs. benefit of that. You're supposed to flip your mattress and rotate your tires. Brush your teeth. Oh, and try to get your medical numbers into the correct range. It's super easy to ignore things and not see immediate consequences. So why worry? But congestive heart failure is some scary shit.
