I was getting the swelling last year - especially around the ankles and feet. Systolic is still too high, but diastolic is better since my operation, and I lost 10 lbs.

I have figured out that keeping my carb levels down helps to keep the water retention down too. I think the Doc has given up on the systolic.

They tried giving me Lisinopril, but that led to inability to breathe. I am hoping to lose another 10 lbs this summer, and hoping that will help the BP too.

My doc told me there's nothing wrong with me that losing 35lbs wouldn't fix. I'm pretty sure that losing 35 years would take care of it all too. LOL

I got a little done after work today. More tomorrow with any kind of good luck.
