I was 200 pounds with high blood pressure for years.

A year and a half ago my new Dr. told me I had chronic kidney disease my egfr under 59. I'm now 164lbs and tapered off lisinopril 40 mg and Mirtazapine 15mg and my egfr is 70. I was told I have a rapid heart beat and liver problems with my last blood work last month 2/13/23. I eat less and healthier now. I'm 76 going on 77 in Sept and I'm on Atorvastatin 20mg & Amlodipine 5mg for years and since my blood pressure is 124/70, sometime lower I feel with this new rapid heart beat problem these pill need adjusted or weaned off.
