I really question the "new numbers" with the adjusting down the top number. I AM NOT A DR. But I truly feel that my chiropractor just about walks on water.... He got my range of motion in my arm after a car wreck, and 2 years later when they said at UVA that I would have to learn to live with it that way..... chiropractor said, no, we can fix this..... it is in your spine, not in your shoulder..... In 2 visits I could lift it above my shoulder..... took several weeks of adjustments to get the spine back in line.... Some things now he has said is just the arthritis and wear and tear and he can't fix everything.... but I almost always feel better after being there.... and then do feel better like the next few days as things have had a chance to get "accustomed" to the new position he put them in and the change in blood flow, nerve impulses, etc.....
I am not telling you to ignore your dr. But so many are just not into the whole thing of getting your body to get healthy with food and such....they "fix" things with medications. I am honestly surprised with your weight loss that your blood pressure didn't improve.... that says that something else is out of whack.....and should be fixable with changes in your diet and maybe lacking in some vitamin/mineral to provide you with the optimum balance. Let the medication help bring it down, but there is an underlying condition that it is high, and if you can figure that out, supplementation of something you are lacking, or getting something else into your system to counteract something that is too high.... that will come with a good nutritionist, and a comprehensive blood/hair/tissue analysis.... JUST MY OPINION
