I know how isolating living with cardiomyopathy and heart failure can feel, and I’ve found a lot of comfort in reading about others' experiences here. I’ve been incredibly nervous about sharing any of t

So for those unfamiliar with me or my case, back in late 2021-early 2022 I was diagnosed with heart failure (thanks Covid). EF was low 20's. Fast forward, I was able to recover my EF to almost 60% and dropped 140lbs on top of it. My average blood pressure today is 110/69. This is massive to me, my b

Male , 26. So I had a bit of a shock yesterday. Went to the doctor for a regular check, they took my BP three times within a few minutes: 153/100 165/103 145/95 The doctor immediately prescribed me 25 mg metoprolol.

Unfortunately it was high at home. I am overweight (I need to lose about 70lbs), but I’m only 32. I also have HORRIBLE anxiety abou

I’ve told my friends and my partner and they understand a little but I just wanted to share with some people who have had similar experiences. I’m 33 and have had blood pressure problems stemming from a shitty diet and alcoholism. Despite that, I somehow have managed to stay an ok weight at 200lbs,

Hi everyone! So this is more of a venting post. I’ve had high bp since I was about 22/23 when I was pregnant with my first son (I’m 36 now) so quite a while. It runs pretty deep on my dad’s side, so yea, here we are. Anyway, my bp has been pretty difficult to manage since my last pregnancy (2020) an
