2 months of diet cuts and mild exercise led to a stable weight of 80 kgs

Still, it is on the higher side but nonetheless I feel good for losing about 6 kgs of weight. I was scared that I would get in a cycle of free falling of weight but thankfully it has stopped around 80 and I intend to keep it that way.

Already I look like an emaciated version of myself. If I keep on losing weight to reach my idle weight, I will look skinny and seriously starved. By the next month end I will go for another round of blood glucose level test.

Regarding blood pressure, it is still on the higher side. All the tricks I have employed have failed. Even worse, I found out recently that there is a difference in blood pressure reading from my 2 arms. If the reading is 135/80 from right arm, the reading will be around 125/80 for the left arm. From what I gleaned from internet, this is another sign of heart problem. Some valves are getting clogged. Nothing serious but the chances of my getting stroke or heart attack are now quite high. This has necessitated another vicious round of stressful thinking and obsessive thoughts.

For the past two weeks I have almost stopped exercising. I have to first figure out why I am having all these issues. More importantly, will meditation help?
