I鈥檓 on day 9 and I鈥檝e noticed my blood pressure has been up for the last 3 days. I take daily bp meds daily. I鈥檓 reallh not sure why it has been up so high. I鈥檝e been in Ketosis since day 4. My bp is normally 130/90 and it was 140/103. I have been taking magnesium and decided to take an extra one last night before bed. BP this morning was 130/95. I鈥檒l tske it again tonight to see if it鈥檚 less than last night. I am hoping it will go down in the long term, back to normal range so I can eventually get off the medication. Sorry so long 馃檪

pattysolis496 Are you taking any supplements ? I haven鈥檛 read up on magnesium that much and if it does something to blood pressure. All I know a magnesium supplement on its own gives me headaches which could be a symptom of higher bp. Maybe try not taking it a few days and see what happens?. Also, I think there is something blood pressure med takers are supposed to avoid. I want to say I read about potassium or something. I remember I had to soak my gpas potatoes in water before I made him his favorite potato casserole.

Update: day 11, headaches subsiding, BP down a bit, 120/85 (lowest since I can remember). I researched potassium and discovered that the supplements can raise BP in those with higher BP to start, so I stopped taking those. Down 9 pounds in 11 days, not too shabby 馃榾
