As for the cardiologist I had to keep making appointments and bringing in my blood pressure records I did my reasearch on drug I wanted to try she even asked if I was an Internet Doctor She was quite rude but I just kept at it It was my health not hers I was not a text book patient
Finally what broke her was when my kidney and liver started dropping from the meds she was giving me My biggest issue was plaque so that why I kept pressing for Repatha
I am now able to take 1/2 tablet of Metropolo With no blood pressure drops

Before my heart attack in December 2024, my blood pressure would average 117
When I was in the hospital, there were a few times it dropped into the 70s or 80s in fact since then there have been a couple of times that it dropped that low now that I’m home. For me, I lay down elevate My legs and start drinking water. I wait 15-20 minutes and check it again and it starts to go up again but normally it stays on the low side at least to me which is anywhere from 95 to 110.
