But my blood pressure was very very high.

It was 160/121 think that's a bit abnormal.

Just took mine: 110/70. Yup. You're real high. Do what the doc says and speedy improvement!

If they give you blood pressure lowering medication, be aware that (as with all drugs) it has side effects. I have a mate (my favourite school teacher, actually) who is now 83, and he got a few attacks of vertigo recently. It's not at all pleasant to have.....you spin out like when you're really drunk. After a few days in hospital, the doctors decided to take him off his BP lowering meds. Vertigo resolved.

The thing is though, he has also described extreme fatigue (to the point of it really stuffing up his life), and a quick Google revealed to me that these meds also deplete the body of Coenzyme Q10.....which helps us make ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and therefore energy.
I just bought him some good-quality capsules (some are more bio-available than others, and indeed there is a slightly different form of it which is) so we'll see what happens.

I'm not suggesting NOT taking BP lowering meds....just be aware of side effects. High BP can cause a stroke, and that's potentially really serious.

^Good advice.
I haven't been on any medication don't even take a Tiffy when i have man flu.
Last time i visited a doctor was 12 years ago,if they want me to pop pills i will check with a copy of the Mims.

I hope my advice appears well-balanced.

If I had high BP, I would either take meds, or go on a very strict regime involving my diet and herbs. In other words, a natural health regime. During that time I would be checking my pressure constantly.

High blood pressure can cause really serious problems.

One of my friends recently had a stroke at age 60. He had been taking the herb licorice (not the candy form, which is actually made from molasses) because he had a really long-term cold and flu which he just couldn't clear.
One morning he had a stroke because it raised his blood pressure and he had to crawl to the phone and call an ambulance. Luckily he recovered completely.

I don't mean to scare you, but that's the reality of it.

[klong toey]

I was crawling on the floor yesterday took 15 minutes for me to gather strength to get off the floor and walk a few yards.

[Latindancer]

Crikey !

Well, the choice is yours.

I'm not sure what actually happened, but did a doctor tell you that you may have easily had a stroke and died yesterday ? Or been permanently debilitated ?

Just wonderin'.

Yes.


Just given myself a fitness test walked 8 miles brisk pace feel okay,head still feels a bit heavy though.

With BP like that, you need to get help or you're not going to take many more walks.

I have a yahoo account and a correct password. I want to login and change my contact email address which is now defunct.
It doesn't like my password and want to send a confirmation code to the defunct address which won't do anything.
Contact Yahoo help centre and get a reply which puts me back in the same loop I can't get out of.

[Latindancer]

Bummer. Try again later / tomorrow.
And with a different browser.

[Dillinger]

^^ do you know your recovery email address?

If you didn't update that you are fukked

[Latindancer]

It........ wants to send a confirmation code to the defunct address which won't do anything.

He is referring to his recovery address as his "contact address".

[Dillinger]

Ahh I see. Well he's talked then. Most emails want a phone number as well nowadays.

I had the same problem with Hotmail that I lost

[VocalNeal]

Bummer. Try again later / tomorrow.
And with a different browser.

I'll give that a try. My user name and password is correct not sure why they need to send me a confirmation code.

I sent a message to Yahoo UK, even though my email is Yahoo.ca, explaining and something must have registered as they sent a code to my phone.

Moan of today: terrible jokes in this thread - but, to be fair they were short, so Cannot321 could learn a thing or two.

Another moan, errrm, my guitar playing is shite, and I waste so much money on it month after month after painful and stupid month. Fuk me, I'm a dense kunt...

[Dillinger]

Take up the recorder

[chassamui]

If the recorder doesn't work out you can always sell it to CMN as a musical dildo.
