Hi @rachel5239 I am celebrating my FIVE year kidney transplant anniversary this year! I am 65 years old. As a younger, thinner person, my blood pressure was always around 110 over 75 too. Now my blood pressure is 119 over 85 with 2.5mg Amlodipine every night. 85 is still too high for a kidney transplant patient. When I tried 5mg Amlodipine, it occasionally went too low and I didn't feel well. I am going to try to lose 10 pounds to see what that does. Are you going to start taking Amlodipine or something else?
Congratulations on your very blessed life! I feel the same way too. I am. very in touch with the fact that without the latest advanced medical
technology, I wouldn't be here
to enjoy my life.
I am very thankful to be able to worry about squamous and high blood pressure. Lol

@hello1234 Just curious- who told you that a systolic of 85 was too high for a 65 year old transplant patient? Was it a nephrologist?
