Progress better than expected!

Just had a checkup this week and my blood pressure has gone down to "normal"! I had been only taking 1/2 of my BP med lately anyway as I was getting dizzy with my blood pressure being at or below 100/60+. Before I started on BP medicine I had readings above 145/90 or higher.

Anyway the doctor said that since my orginal 10mg was the lowest dosage and since I was only taking 5mg I may as well not take any dosage.

I had a mini stroke (TIA) a little less than 2 years ago so I'm still taking my maintenace low dose asprin just to be safe. And I'm a bit nervous not taking my bp med. I'll be monitoring the my blood pressure daily for a while just to be sure.

These results are a bit surprising since I'm still not actually compliant with the magic four hours per night of usage. However I am seeing where I am having longer sessions before I rip off my mask during the night.

Last saturday I had a 7 hour 10 minute compliance! And that was outside in a tent camping. I didn't use the humidfier but it was a cooler night in the mid 40 degree area. Not sure what was so different other than the low temperature. I'd like to repeat that as I haven't felt so rested in ages!

As part of my fitness program I recently purchased 21 speed bicycle. It had been over 15 years since I got on a bike as you can imagine I had some difficulties like sore posterior and muscles I forgot I had as well as being a little off balance. I adjusted rather quickly and now my youngest son and I ride at least every other day for about 5 miles or better.

Ok, nuff rambling...

Thanks guys for keeping this fourm going...it's been quite helpful.
