blood pressure

I will have to look that one up. I don't remember seeing anything that said once you were on meds you could only get a one yr.

 

I got a 2 year this year on meds as well. Bp was way lower than Stage 1.

 

Just regular old Bayer Aspiring. From the reading I have done, less is more. Around 75mg is all it takes. Higher dosage can have side effects.

 

I should have specified BP meds but I was wrong about always having a 1 year card after being on medication

See questions 41 and 44 . For some reason I couldn't copy and paste them .

 

thanks,,.,i will get me a bottle of asprin..but i still want to lose the weight...need to find me something to do while driving thats not distracting that i can use to work out or something...i dont have the money for fancy equipment..lol

 

I just went in a couple of weeks ago and my bp was 130 / 83...Im happy with that. Im on 2 different BP meds along with a diuretic. He upped one of the BP meds because my ticker was rather fast sitting down....but I had been having some panic attacks lately prior to that so I was kind of freaked out...hence the high BP.

But on the plus side, I had lost 9lbs in the previous two months. Im right now at 346ish...I've been trying to cut back on the pop because:
A) I dont want to drink 400 calories at a time, in each one liter.
B) The caffeine makes me feel punky.
I usually would buy diet pops which have no calories, but they have caffeine...grr! I don't drink enough water so often when Id buy a pop, thats all that would be in my system...caffeine. So really the only choice for me would be something like a diet sprite or 7up...but no truck stop Ive been to carries them in 1 liter bottles...so I just take some old 1 liter bottles and fill them up in the morning and then refill them halfway through the day.

I used to know of a website from a truck driver who has created his own diet and lost a ton of weight...but I can't remember the website. I know he used to call into Dave Nemos show and mention it about once or twice a week. However, that too wasn't based around flavor, lol. Basically, he bought canned tuna and crackers...spinach and a bunch of other stuff. But he DID lose a bunch of weight.

I know for me (sorry for the long post)...I got into a oatmeal kick a few weeks ago and wow! What I did was take two packets of oatmeal and eat that for breakfast. Id take a banana with me (snack and to bring potassium levels up due to the diuretic)...and I would often be full all the way through to dinner.
Maybe that could be tied into my panic attacks and how I didn't feel like eating anything during that time, lol....but the oatmeal really did fill me up.

 

Sometimes less is more, try not chewing so much while your driving. That would probably work better than trying to exercise while your driving.
LOL
