Only in quaddies who think you are in the wrong place...

Yes - at the last race of the day AFTER I had been standing in and around that area for the better part of the day AND it was ok for another photographer to stand IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUN OFF for all the F1 and F2 races...WTF? I think it was ageism ... she was young and was wearing a skirt.... LOL LOL NOOOOOOOooooo it didn't bother me in the slightest......

(Sorry for the OT - OP)

You're not even fussy which house. So I'm told...

Poor Zaccy

I smoke and yet my BP is really good,but I can understand your beef with the advice and medication,Last year I was put on Epilim as I might have epilipsy,that screwed me up big time so was put on Carbamazepine which I'm still on,so on a regular trip to the GP 2months ago I was susprised to be told I have really High Cholestrol huh?? Then I am told that the Carbamazepine increases your cholestrolso now I am on Medication to reduce the cholestrol as well,what pissed me of more was out of all the possible side efects of being on Carbamazepine that it was never mentioned or stated that increasing your cholestrol was a side efect of the medication

Dont yah love that? Yes indeed once upon the slippery slope you can not avoid the side effects and the pills to counter them. Irregular heart beat, oh that is due to low pottasium as you are taking a diruretic that leeches potassium from your blood. Here take this slow release pottassium one pill a day. Watch this space

And i've missed so many parties !

Yeah, but only problem when we have a party is I dont actually go to bed when it is dark, I tend to stay up and only crash out once everyone else has.

Weirdest thing happened yesterday. I am still trying to get my head around the medical advice I was given.

Well........
I've never heard it called a "medical advice" before and I thought getting your head around it was supposed to raise the blood pressure!

Weirdest thing happened yesterday. I am still trying to get my head around the medical advice I was given.

I have high blood pressure, have spent the best part of 12 months trying to get it under control. It is a family thing so not unexpected. I used to smoke. Every time I went for a BP check the nurse/doctor would lecture me about stopping smoking. So I did. Piece of wees really, completely blew me away how easy it was to stop. Sadly my blood pressure continues to be an issue despite my best efforts to date.

Had a bit of a HIGH BP at the start of the week and was started on yet another drug, this time on top of what I already take, to drag it back down. Went for the 2 day after starting new drug regime check and it has dropped a bit. I complained to the nurse. I said, "I took your advice, I stopped smoking and am out pounding the pavements almost every night getting fit and my blood pressure continues to rise. I feel ripped off!"

Her advice to me. I should start chewing nicotene gum It lowers the blood pressure apparently. No shit Sherlock, I did try telling the zealot nurses when I went to get my BP checked, only now I have stopped do they acknowledge it. Apparently only the TAR in smokes is bad for you. I was sitting there gob smacked! I said I am not chewing nicotene gum, she said I could always use patches??????

WTF!

I am a nicotene addict that has managed very sucessfully to kick the habit and here is a friggen health professional suggesting I should start the habit up again via a different method???

Anyone else experienced this weirdness?

Tell the moronic fuckwits to give their diplomas and birth certificates back. NICOTINE RAISES BP and is a vasoconstrictor (goes hand in hand). One of the easiest ways to cut BP is to seriously reduce sodium intake (salt). Not just salt "on" your food, but also the salt "in" it. Good luck.

well i went to the doc the other day to get my meds that take my appiate away and he did my bp said it was 150/130 told me i should not be on these meds but gave them to me for another month and said come back to have it checked then. as this is me i did not think to much about it untill at the chemist when talking to them and she said that it was really high and i need to get a handle on it as this is what cause heart attack and what meds had they put me on ,, i said none she was really surpised . so they the chemist said i should have it checked weekly .so i am off tommorow to do this, but i say this is caused from the stress of our kids .

Yeah sodium. I got the lower your sodium intake lecture 12 months ago. Difficult to reduce something that does not play a big part in your diet anyway. Into my meds a while and they discover that my sodium levels are too low (along with my potassium) so I get given carte blanche to eat what ever salty snacks I want. Everyone is different I guess.
