Some other issues with blood pressure

 In May this year I started to feel really bad so I checked my blood pressure which was really high. I thought it'll go down on its own so gave it a few days, then tested again only to find out it was still high. I therefore contacted my GP about it and set up an appointment.

A couple days later after I took my blood pressure daily and made notes I have seen one of the doctors who admitted that the pressure is higher than normal however decided not to prescribe any treatment because there was no point in having one for a couple weeks only to stop it when I was to start on the weight loss programme.

Probably forgot to mention that on the first day of the weight loss programme I was to stop taking any medication for diabetes and hypertension. Treatment for autoimmune pancreatitis will continue regardless.

A few months after I did another CT scan and the doctors said they have seen improvement and therefore...
