They all concur that it is avoidable and there would be no recovery when it happens. Through diet and the meds it is currently down to 180/110-115. This is actually lower for me than it has been for some time now. It has ran in the 150-160 range on the bottom.
I fully understand that IF I am to conquer this problem then it will be something I do as the doctors have no clue. Exercise is out except for the light stuff. The dr said I am toooo close to rupturing a blood vessel in my head.
ANY advice in this area will be appreciated.
Hi C Guy, I started blood pressure/heart meds when I was 11. By the time
I was 24, I was on 13. I used to smoke and chew, and
I was way over wieght and eat every salty thing I could get my hands on. I had a small heart attack :-\
I exsercised daily, gave up nicotine, salty foods, and lost wieght.
I lost 80 pounds, my blood pressure dumped so bad, that I had to hydrate
to bring it back up some times.
Almost 2 years later, I am on NO FUCKING PILLS, nada, zip, zero.
Moral is.... pills will just keep yo alive longer, not help. Exercising
saved me from a pine box at 30......period.
Your just a number to your doctor and he's using the textbook
hypertension alogrith. I rode the treatment loop 5 times before
I got off for good. My numbers were the same (some times worse) then
yours, the pills did little and I would desensitize to them rapidly.
I know you say that "Exercise is out except for the light stuff".
Well, I went to the ER trying to go up 11 stair steps, now,
I just got done jogging 4 miles a couple hours ago without the symptoms and
one half way break. I started slow and just kept at it.
I am in no way bragging, I know how it feels to not even be able to jack off
as a teenager because your doc's got you an enough med's to drop a fucking griaffe!
Constantly being red and sweating even when it's cold out.
Just saying, I ran the treatment gamut (I mean all of it), and it was the exercise,
well, over exercising really that did it. My cardiologists doesn't get it, (but they always play like they do, nephrologists too).
That's pretty much my story. I know that when I thought I was gonna die,
I was dieing, when I said fuck it and started to fight and try everything that I thought could work, it worked. Maybe it was the mental aspect. I'm not really sure, but what ever it was, I'm greatfull.
So fight, don't think of "buta matter of when", I got " the date" also.
Now I laugh at them while I lift wieghts like a crazy dog. Yeah, I still get red (a bit purple some times) and sweat an embarrassing amount.
I hope to see you beat it man. I know life ain't fair, some healthy studs get the nice jobs, happy lifes and hot girls and and we were fucking getting scans, test, needles, x-rays, all the crap, during the prime of out lifes.
Good luck! and God bless ya if you read all that
