I used to have very high blood pressure. Now it's normal. Is that unusual?

My BP was 180/110, and was pretty steady at that level. My doctor prescribed Exforge, which I have been taking for about 6 months. Last week, I was feeling very tired, weak & dizzy. I skipped the meds and found my BP was around 120/80. Went to see the Dr. and he confirmed (actually 115/70) - and could not believe the change. He said he's never seen anything like that before.

Is that sort of change really that odd? I haven't made any big changes, aside from a lower-stress job. Dr. says stress has an impact, but not THAT big an impact.

I am now completely off the meds, and checking BP daily. It's stable right around 120/80.

Quite happy about it - just wondering if it's really as odd as the Dr. makes it out to be.

Yea, it's just as unusual as your doc said. I've never heard of anyone going off BP meds, well not with a doctors approval. My doc told me I'd be on them for life. Of course that was at the same time I had Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery for 5 bypasses.

Good luck. I hope it remains down for you.
