For some time I have had a blood pressure problem

Started on coversyl didn’t do much

Then gave coversyl-plus a go still no joy it was still way over the top..

For the past 6 weeks I’ve been taking some dual acting tablets ..can’t remember the name .. by midday I should know if it has worked.

The new tab’s have made feel like total crap.. no energy.. ache all over.. many food/normal sized serve make me sick.

Col

Gee, Col, your medication shouldn’t make you feel sick. I was on Coversyl for years and had to change cos it affected my kidneys. There are so many preparations for blood pressure out there it’s just a case of eliminating the ones that don’t suit till you find one that does.
Yes. Good Luck!

I’m on Micardis Plus (2 in 1) as well as Perindo (cheap Cipramil). It hasn’t made me feel sick though.

Same here BG re Micardis.

Some days I feel I need a double dose

My BP is borderline, so I may be joining you all on meds sometime.

Doesn’t sound very pleasant :( If it is helping your blood pressure, do you have to keep taking them forever??

Oh bugger, if they make you feel like that all the time I’d be hoping they AREN’T working so you can try the next option…

Well, if you don’t count the last few years of my life? :D I’m hoping to come off the stomach meds sometime this year.. tried once already but it was awful, I had forgotten what it was like before I went on the meds :(

I’ve been healthy for most of my life.. never fit though.

Urban Wombat, FWIW, hie thee to a good dietitian, one with whom you feel comfortable …she/he might put you on a meal plan (i.e. food groups per day sort of stuff) plus recommend a sports physiologist (maybe not straight away) and this will help you feel in control of your health (which you will be after a few consultations). Has your general physician not recommended this course of action yet?

Dietitians also explain what your foods do for (and against!) you, and they are skilled at helping folk with specific medical conditions.

Did you know, for instance, that rhythmic exercise, no matter how gentle, encourages the liver to produce the “good” cholesterol?

There are good oils and bad oils (as per the Castrol ads, “oyls ain’t oyls”), also at least a teaspoon of oil (e.g. olyve) helps keep the gall bladder problems away…but you really need to consult with a dietitian to personalize this for you…

Mr D and I have no qualms about consulting, as well as our GP, “our” dietitian and “our” sports physiologist on a regular basis…Mr D now no longer takes Lipitor for his cholesterol (which is now better than mine!). It’s taken him about 15 months and he has dropped from 120+ kg to 99 kg, with monitored exercise and diet…perserverance is the key and getting back into his 1980’s trousers was a big reward…

MrP has been on BP medication for 2 years now and his pressure still sits around 190 until a pill makes it drop. I think he has naturally high BP. According to the medical profession you’re not allowed to do that so he keeps fighting. God only knows what it’s doing to his internal workings.

I have never heard him say that his meds make him ill though.

>Am I the only healthy person here?

I don’t take medication.

I’ve started doing swimming training (did 20 laps today), AFAIK my cholesterol and BP are good. My diabetes is now controlled after my weight loss.

I’m a vegetarian and I’ve never smoked.

I feel sorry for people who smoke, but at the end of the day it involves saying NO at the start of the next.

I gave up smoking 30 years ago, but there are times when I feel as if I would kill for a cigarette…it’s hard…

My Dad smoked when he was young, but had given up before I was able to remember it. Just as well, he wouldn’t have made it to 63 if he hadn’t. His father died at 50.

My Dad had high BP for most of his life, and this weakened the heart muscle. After his (quad I think) bypass the stitches tore one night. Game over.

There is a strong heart disease tendency on his side, the smoking in his early days and the moderate-heavy drinking wouldn’t have helped either.. Or the fact his father was a butcher so there was the habit of always plenty of meat on the plate, usually red meat too.

Elf is on BP tabs as well as piles of other stuff. Like a drug fest each morning and night….. not so bad at lunch time.

Mine’s hereditary as well. It could, and nearly did once, kill me. So meds for life here too. Gemfibrozil is the one I take but it’s for a specific type of triglyceride.

The good news is the BP is on the way down… and as for not feel will the tab couldn’t have caused it.. looks like it may have been just the common ‘ol wog but have been booked in for extra blood test ..talk about belt ‘n braces……

Well there are always the ones who claim to enjoy it, and some who say it is their right..

Any addiction in hard to beat, tobacco is one of the hardest. But if you turn it around, who else can stop someone smoking?

In the end the smoker has to conclude the pleasure they get is exceeded by whatever is motivating them to quit..

>geez if that’s an olympic sized pool you are fit. depends on time i spose.

I think it is.

But I swim pretty slowly. Haven’t done training in 30 years. I’m concentrating on swimming smoothly rather than fast, no point in thrashing around trying to go fast because someone will rescue me for sure.

So this is now ‘the wrong trousers’ thread..

Okay

20 laps is 20 laps, and you are right to work on your technique. Congratulations!

I’m hoping 20 laps will be 40 by the end of summer, but that’s another thing entirely! 8^)

Don’t joke, that actually happened to me once…and I wasn’t going even remotely fast. Lets just say it’s best I stick to breaststroke and leave freestyle for those who can actually do it with some finesse. The embarrassing thing was that I was trying to improve my freestyle at the time and was concentrating very very hard on getting the right arm action when I was suddenly grabbed and somebody started dragging me toward the edge of the pool. When I spluttered “What are you DOING!?!” they said “Didn’t you want help? You were waving your arms around and I thought you needed help”

Suffice to say, I was so mortified that I have NEVER attempted to improve my freestyle after that, it’s now just something OTHER swimmers do.

Me, not joke?

What a challenge!

8^)

>form is temporary, skill is for a lifetime.

Yeah. If I’m conscious I shouldn’t drown. I’ve been in competitive swimming teams and played in a Navy Water Polo competition. But that WAS 27-30 years ago.. But I’ve done several HUET courses (helicopter underwater escape training) since and I can tread water for hours.

I’m slow through the water because I’m so big, but that’s OK. I’m not out to set records. So if I treat swimming as a zen like quest for perfection, I might end up being an OK swimmer again.

I was disconcerted by kids with kick boards sailing past me until I saw they had flippers…

i do 20 laps of my pool but its only 9 metres long and if i kick off the wall and do a bit of porpoising (?) i get to the other end in four strokes.

20 laps in a big pool would get the muscles working.

our old poodle pepe will dog paddle (quicker than human dog paddle) for two hours continuously as long as someone is playing with her. …. and she’s got arthritis in the legs.

Swimming is excellent for dogs with arthritis and other joint issues so give her all the encouragement you can. I had a little foster pup here that I fell in love with and was going to keep until she and Ella stopped getting along and I got in the middle of the fight (some may remember)…anyway, she had hip dysplasia and it was highly recommended that I take her swimming. Swimming puts no pressure on the joints while exercising and strengthens the muscles around the joints so that they take the pressure off the joints and the joints don’t need to work so hard.

Some dogs who have had accidents have the hip ball completely removed and are then sent for hydrotherapy. The muscles around the missing hip ball can become so strong that they do the job of the joint and the dogs can regain full movement of the joint. Anyway, interesting piece of trivial info there, LOL!

That is a dangerous game! You should not stop bp meds cold turkey. A friend of mine who had been on bp meds for a long time just suddenly gave them up cold turkey. A few days later she had a massive stroke and died aged 41. Tell him to be take his meds as required. 190 is way too high!

My stomach medication is one that used to be used (at MUCH higher doses) for depression. The documentation is full of dire warnings about not stopping suddenly as it can cause suicidal thoughts and so forth. My doctor assures me that it doesn’t apply at my dose, but it is a bit scary!

Shit I went over a week coz I was too busy to fill the script ?? is that bad?? Sometimes I feel I just have time to do that stuffs and always forgetting to take me pill, so I have the m at work as well ??

My stomach medication is one that used to be used (at MUCH higher doses) for depression. The documentation is full of dire warnings about not stopping suddenly as it can cause suicidal thoughts and so forth. My doctor assures me that it doesn’t apply at my dose, but it is a bit scary!

One of my cats is on a small dose of a human antidessant as an appetite stimulant.

And go ahead you know who and C & P this and put it on his forums KK

I’m just throwing this in here because it fits under “wish me luck”…

Just found out my job will be being advertised on 16 Jan.. FINALLY. Been waiting for this for ages. Gotta completely re-do my resume though. Can’t wait to get the whole process over and done with =/

YaY hope goes well, it will because that is a great day, My son was born on that day and turns 18 this month. Been a long 18 years and lots of tears, unfortunately his Nonna and Great Nonna and father wont be with him to celebrate the day as they have chosen to disown him and as vise verse with Chris, he finally wised up to them after all the years of black mail for access(no maintenance payments for over 12 years) if I had of perused it they refused to see the child. Also with a few other people he used to look up to, I think we ( chris & I) are sick and tied of people trying to rule our lifes, Maybe this dont fit in here but it will do for now, Sad when the shit hits the fan and who you think are your friends get blown out with the shit I guess , at their choice !?!. Great way to house clean ? I say 2010 time to get my life back again , And go ahead you know who and C & P this and put it on his forums KK

Re that last bit about ‘you know who’, isn’t everyone here on good terms? Didn’t we leave the questionable behind when we came here? Or am I just really oblivious?

It all happened on Thee’s forum. No idea who the person here is.

Oh. Still just as much in the dark as I didn’t go to Thee’s forum. I have enough difficulty just keeping up with this one and my dog forum.
