It's been a month and three weeks since starting the lemon juice/celery water, 3 weeks of a 24-hr fast one day per week, off and on handgrip exercises, not drinking everyday (more like just once or twice a week? when things weren't really improving and I was thinking about not being strict about it all and only doing every few days or so. But today, my BP was somewhat consistently low. First reading was around 1pm, we had gone down to Banning to have breakfast at Grandma's Country Kitchen since tomorrow is our 24th wedding anniversary but we both work. Had a veggie benedict, side of bacon, and OJ. Drank lemon water but not the celery juice. Couldn't remember if I took my meds, I kinda think I didn't. My first reading was 114/88. Then as the day went on, it was 120/85, 124/90, 123/94, 138/87, 121/88, 115/85, and 124/93 at 850p. My top number was almost normal, crazy! Bottom number still high but not triple digits. The foods I ate rest of day was: menudo, plain yogurt with lemon curd, mugi-cha, salad, mojito (with one shot light rum) bbq pork and rice. I didn't even have fruit today. So I wonder if today was just a fluke or things are finally starting to work. Most days I only take the Metoprolol since the diuretic supposedly flushes out my potassium which I need! But I had also read that Metoprolol could actually increase potassium levels and maybe the combination of the two is supposed to balance each other out? I'm not sure. We'll see what tomorrow does.
