Usually, my BP had been running like 120 + over 70 +. The last two mornings, it was 99/68 and 108/74 respectively. I have been on blood pressure medication since 2006, when I was diagnosed. I am hoping that it stays on the low side so that I can keep from having to take one more medication.

Is there anything that you can attribute the drop to like less sodium or more exercise? I've been running about 90/60 ever since my pancreas transplant so don't have to worry about meds right now. I know how you feel though about being burned out about taking pills. The fewer the better.

It's very possible that if it stays that way your doc will remove/decrease your BP meds.
