Improved blood pressure.

My BP got so much lower an steadier in ketovore, I soon cut my usual prescribed four pills down to 1 1/2. The wild variations also stopped. Pulse is a tad higher in keto but less random as well.

This pic shows aug 2023 vs Jan 2025 because I used an old BP meter in between,the app did not record it. But this shows the difference quite well. Aug 23 four Metoprolols,no keto. Jan 25 one and a half pills,keto.

I have a stent and various heart / CV -conditions since 2016. I also feel I'm able to exercise better now, I may have been fighting the heavy meds,thinking it was my heart telling me to stop eg. before I could even sweat. Beta blockers do work as rev limiters and now I'm down to one third of what I used to take.

I like this! Anyone else with heart peculiarities here?

@Geezy has had some heart peculiarities. He was kind enough to let me interview him here...

Do you take Digoxin? I did not watch the video yet but I will after dinner.

I have afib,too. Lived with it for eight years at least. Considering how weird my rhythm is,it bothers me surprisingly little. I may have had it much longer, unnoticed... back then I did not even notice the heart (afib) symbol in my old Omron meter that I have had for 20 years.

I was on Metropol and Flecanide  I’m off of both of them now. There are two types of AFib as you may know. One type you are in an irregular rhythm most of the time. The other is paroxysmal, which is what I had/have. In this type I’m in normal rhythm most of the time with about a dozen heart palpitations a day and about once a year I’d have a severe attack that would put me in intensive care for a couple of days while they get my heart back in rhythm. It’s a scary time. I had a heart ablation done but it didn’t work. 
A year after beginning a strict carnivore regiment my condition had improved so much that I was removed from all of my medications and one of my cardiologist dropped me as a patient and the other one only wants to see me for a check up once a year.

I see,very good for you!

Mine is the continuous type. It was put back electrically to normal a few times years ago but it never stayed normal for long.

And those trips to a remote hospital always took a few days for a couple of seconds "zap" so I quit doing that.

My Omron meter detects afib. Depending on the day,there are less detected afibs now in keto. Normally it shows afib every time I take readings.

I took a graph in Sauna last week. Looks nuts!
