Been there and done that.....
15 years ago I had a 34 inch waist.....now it's 38!
After the new heart valve and mucho Warfarin my blood
pressure spiraled out of control.....one day it sat at 215 over 130!! :yikes:
So I cut salt from my diet as much as possible and tried to eat in a healthier way.
I now eat fish almost every day and as little processed food as I can manage.
No sugar, which is not a problem for me as I have never taken it in coffee or tea.
Two cups of coffee and two mugs of tea are my self-imposed limit as the caffeine
puts BP through the roof!
I still drink a bit too much 'real ale' which is bad but hey, you have to have some vices!!
I have tamed my BP as much as I can with 50mg Losartan daily and go to the gym
twice a week....after an hour of mixed exercises my BP seldom exceeds 142 over 80!
I now weigh around 190 and am working toward 170.....Fat chance!!
Oh I'm 65 and 5ft 8 inches.
Good luck to you in your battle....It ain't easy but if you take it in baby steps you'll
get there.
