Blood pressure

[dronefromsector7G]

My doc has me monitoring my blood pressure daily.
They tell me to take three readings and record the lowest.

They think I’m on 10 mg amlodipine. What they don’t know is that 10 mg causes erectile “issues” for me whereas the previous 5 mg didn’t.
So I cut the 10 mg in half…

Ooh you’re hard

I’ll take that over drooling my last years in a care home chair.

I had a 24 hour monitor fitted last week and my average reading was 149/94, highest one was 171/100. Got a GP appointment this week. I want to try and reduce it through lifestyle choices rather than go straight on more pills. Anyone else found they could lower such high readings?

Don’t book any holidays or start reading a long book ;-)

That's a good number.

A cup of tea about once a month, a chocolate bar every couple of days. I cut down on tea due to my vestibular migraines

I never considered that. I drink at least 10 cups of strong tea a day

Reading your earlier post, you certainly need to cut down on the beer. Try only having two or three on a Friday and Saturday and also cut your caffeinated tea down to two cups per day. If your body is crying out for a drink, have a glass of water

When I had my new heart valve I had a long chat with the cardiologist. He told me that doctors talk to doctors about patients and they hold beliefs that are not really in text books.
One thing they agree on is BP is directly related to weight. Basically if you lose 10 KG (22lbs) your BP will reduce by between 10 and 15%.
