I refer the aging gentleman to this story:

Normal depends on several factors (height, weight, age and gender) but
for most males of our age it's about 120/80.

Women have slightly higher blood pressure than men if I remember
correctly.

Phil

 

No but its not bad either. The lower figure is what concerns the docs
most cos a high (ie much>80) indicates furred up or dodgy arteries

Did that at about 14 while cycling uphill. A combination of a series of
hot days, late nights and having to get up early to do my paper-round.

Phil

 

I think red wine is supposed to be good for the blood pressure. When
taken in moderation that is..

Phil

 

Statin control (to help tri-glyceride levels)

Dunno about this..

Omeprazole? Decreases the chance of NSAIDs burning holes in your
stomach. Also helps with ulcers.

Beta-blocker - loweres blood pressure. (they put me on it to try to
stop the migraines but it made me feel spaced-out all the time so I
stopped it).

Phil

 

'You lucky, luck barstud!'

I got myself one too. Very useful for finding out what winds up ones
personal clock. Having been put on the pills for a bp of around
170/100 I eventually destressed myself enough with the help of said
monitor to get down to (typically) 130/82 *without* pills at which
point doc said he was happy for me to 'self-medicate'.

SWMBO is typically 90/60. This is exceptional - a very low metabolic
rate - which means she should outlive me by about 50 years :-(
She does start to feel a bit faint though if the lower fig gets down
to about 55 (I understand this is actually dangerous - so I do all I
can to keep her BP up )

It's all that getting excited about kittens and flowers.

 

Wotcha.

That would be my downfall - I'm a salt addict, though I've been trying to
cut
down over the last twelve months since joining the diabetic club.

 

it might have been stupid but I wasn't surprised by the outcome. it
was over a 24hour period so also covered the times when I was chilled
(ie asleep). it peaked regularly with the systolic (the big one) over
200 and although its the high diastolic they worry about it was high
enough, often enough for there to be no option for not taking tablets.

my brother is four years older and this was four years after he'd
started on the tablets.

I'm only on a piddly diuretic at the mo but its about time my brother
went onto real pills.

mine was lowest its bee in *years* about an hour after I'd been being
healthy and taken the push bike out for an hour.

seems like exercise might be good for you. i just felt completely
knackered!

All I got was some firm offering to sell me hamster DNA. Weird.

 

thought I recognized the name, its one of ours...

Main Use : Severe psoriasis
Active Ingredient : Acitretin.

Acitretin works by inhibiting the excessive cell growth and
keratinisation (process by which skin cells become thickened due to
the deposition of a protein within them) seen in psoriasis. It
therefore reduces the thickening of the skin, plaque formation and
scaling.

Likewise - my local Lloyds were knocking them out at £10 each.

Biofeedback is a wonderful thing.

<giggles>

 

Yeah, I have Psoriasis.
Done all the light treatments, etc but this seems to work really well,
95% clear.
But what happens when you stop taking the pils?

 

Sober-up I guess.

 

Did it?
Interested about this, can you email me with your experience with it?

Been on a flu jab since my big chest infection in 99. That began to turn
in to pneumonia and the quack had to turn to ciproflaxin ("we call it
domestos laddie") to sort me out. In view of the fact I had a near death
brush with broncho-pneumonia when I was five, apparently, he advised a
flu jab that year. I also persuaded him to give the pneumococcus one as
well.

For the next three years I just had to say I had one last year to get
another. Then it was a prescription. This year it was "we won't give
prescriptions". I am just 'worried well' apparently. Took myself off to
the Asda pharmacy one Saturday morning. No queue. quick cash
transaction, sorted. Well worth the money IMO as if I get flu I get
bronchitis almost inevitably.
