@mostlybill I was on blood pressure medication back around 2011 - 2014 then I got off of it because one doctor thought some of my meds could be causing the confusion that turned out to be HE. Now my BP is high again and my PCP is pushing to get me on a medication again. What I learned though is that if you had cirrhosis, as I did, it tends to make your BP be lower. I had no idea that was the case prior to transplant and I was feeling positively smug at how good my BP was! Now the systolic pressure is often in the 130s and the diastolic is usually in the 60s or 70s. Sometimes the systolic does go up into the 150s though so that is why he is concerned.

Yeah, I was pretty pleased with my blood pressure pre-transplant. I had no idea cirrhosis impacted it. It is crazy high now and the medication doesn't seem to help. I am starting yoga classes now at three months post transplant. I hope that helps.
