BP Follow-up on New Med (Bystolic)

• Been on new med for 1.5 weeks
• Drastically cut down tea intake.  Only drink in morning every 2-3 days
• Upped my water intake, at least 7 cups/day.  Drink 1.5 cups upon waking.  Dunno if related but been having BM almost first thing in morning

• BP at Dr. office was 110/70, probably the lowest its been.  Overall BP improved since med change, averaging 130/90.  

• Dr Woods still thinks bottom number high.  Wanted to start me on Valsartan.  But will wait for Lab results (adrenal test) and diet/exercise change.
• Last EKG was a little abnormal.  I think electrolyte imbalance.  Will do again at next visit since I'll be "hydrated" more
• Possible referral to cardiologist after next visit if no improvements

• For now... continue to do what I've been doing.  Stop taking HCTZ.   Eat better, exercise more.  Take my supplements.  Next visit in 2 weeks.
• Get a Sleep Apnea app and track sleeping
