I had the same experience. I've been doing intermittent fasting for several months, and after a while I felt that hunger doesn't bother me that much anymore, so I decided to go for a three day fast. I do get slightly elevated blood pressure from time to time, but on the third day of fast I noticed that it dropped to lower than 120. I did a bit of googling, and found that there even were some medical studies looking into effect of fasting and lowering of blood pressure.
