Have a great day Rocky. I wish it were sunny here. Gray and rainy and slushy and icy .....boo hiss! 

Maybe it's a combo of not smoking and weight loss. Doctor might not have lied on purpose maybe he/she really believed it! 

Yeah, unfortunately health care providers speak in generalities. Many people do experience a significant drop in their blood pressure after quitting smoking. My husband had that result. But, non-smoker's deal with blood pressure issues, too. Even when they exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Genetics play a HUGE role. I hope there is just a delay for you in the downward trend of your blood pressure. Keep some hope! In the meantime, the b/p meds are a necessity, obviously. You don't want to increase your risk for stroke or heart attack. 

You didn't just develop high blood pressure overnight - so you might just see some improvement with time. In any case - Congratulations on quitting smoking. That is huge!!!  

Enjoy your day out and take care of yourself. You are so worth it.
