Thanks! I’m definitely drinking more water now after that whole ordeal! Used to have way too much sweet tea 🤣 You know, I coat cotton balls in vasoline and use them for fire starters, too. Thanks, Troy!
Hey, thank you! I can always use prayers! Blood pressure is normal now, I just really want folks to keep themselves checked before anyone gets to the point that I was. Thank you so much!
There are good reasons to call it a silent killer. Your bp must have been outrageously high to have those kinds of symptoms. Glad you caught it before a stroke or heart attack. For me, the worst part is getting used to the salt restriction. Fortunately my taste for salt had already been reduced by cooking for my wife who has blood pressure issues. But I love my pickled peppers and hot sauces, most of which have a high sodium content. When I was 65, I had a sonogram of my heart. The medical technician told me that I had the heart of an active 35 yr old. But that heart was immediately seriously damaged by chemotherapy for lymphoma. Now the heart has difficulty supplying blood to the brain. My family is full of large very tall men who live into their nineties. Covid killed my unvaccinated dad at 93 yrs. As you know, exercise is really important for controlling BP. I do a lot of walking and that does the job. Walking a minimum of an hour a day.
Hot sauce is definitely a weakness of mine and something that I’m getting accustomed to scaling back on, now. Chemotherapy has wreaked havoc on a couple of friends of mine, I hate that you’re dealing with the repercussions. I thought that my job kept me in good shape, but now my wife and I have bicycles to take to the park and ride with the girls! Thank you!
Yes Kris, you’re very fortunate that you able to get diagnosed and can now get your BP under control. Diet and exercise will definitely help you. It’s very humbling when you think you’re in good shape and then BP changes that. My cardiologist put me on BP meds years ago and said it’s a silent killer. It really shook me because I’m very active with gym,golf,and lots of walking which helped but if I miss talking my medication the BP numbers shoot up. Be well and keep up your great humor and personality. 🙏🙏
@@farside51 You've got it, too! Yeah, it really took me by surprise. High BP really affects more people than I thought, which is why I wanted to put this out there. Thank you, I really appreciate it!
