2 year old lab mix from Mexico—he was a street dog a woman had neutered and put up for adoption. I like Clyde but I don’t know.

I’ve been lurking this sub for a few weeks now so here’s my turn! Super stoked on my numbers lately. I have been stage 2 hypertension for way too long now, doctor always says to cut the sodium and I only see him once every 3 years so I’m sure I’ve done damage to my vessels. Had a wake up call in early June and immediately got on my diet. Fruits, veggies, beans, seeds, salmon, kept sodium under 1500mg a day, sat fat under 10g, FIBER FIBER FIBER….and that’s it. I run every day anyway so that didn’t change but with the new fuel I’ve put on my body it likely made my running do more magic. I really didn’t think I’d see a drop like this since I’m so used to it being 140/90 ish but I read so much great advice here I wanted to share mine and thank those who post the tips and suggestions for lowering BP!

My girl had her teeth cleaned 5 days ago and she’s been snorting every time she eats and then sporadically throughout the day when she’s just lounging around. Everything went smoothly according to the vet and they said bring her in in a few days if she’s not better. She’s been put under before and recovered within 2-3 tops so I’m a little concerned. Figured I’d share here in the meantime so I’m not overly worried the next few days—any thoughts are appreciated
