New and better BP

I am status post pacemaker implant on September 12, 2016 for congenital complete heart block. I have returned to work. Everything is going well. My scar has finally flattened out and looks like other pacemaker scars I have seen instead of a cinched up sack! I had to go to my regular doctor yesterday because my prescription for my BP med had run out. My pressures used to be about 145/90 with medicine before the PM. Now I am running around 122/60 and have seen my systolic be at 111. Before the pacemaker, my doctor was considering giving me more medicine. Now she wants me to check to make sure it does not get too low. Yay!
