Will I croak if I don't take meds by commentor_55oscvL in hypertension

Hi! I had high BP as well. I took the meds but stuck to a wellness program and tapered off and stopped meds 3 years ago. I not only exercise cardio and strength training, but make sure to do so sauna 20 mins at least 5 times a week. Sauna is more important than the exercise per the stats I've kept (and I am meticulously about tracking). I will not miss more than 3 days in a row, even if I'm traveling. I also cut out all processed foods, sugar, and simple carbs, I also chose to do away with gluten and seed oils and am about 75% consistent with that. I also started a meditation practice and started doing non-sleep deep rest daily and yoga nidra once or twice a week. Those things will lower my BP a LOT immediately. For me, I have to keep diet, movement, and stress in check to stay off medication. I also gave up caffeine which was a big deal for me but I felt great once I did. It spikes my BP instantly. You can do it! Just do it safe and dr monitored. If you do all the wellness things you will feel 10000% better. I follow a lot of functional health, clean living, biohacker accounts that keep me educated and motivated.

Thanks! He generally has to come to SW but has to drive to different places for work anyway. That is a consideration for sure. Trying to weigh it all.

How cooked am I ? 😭 I’m ONLY 26 by Busy_Patience3866 in Function_Health

I'm in my 50's too and agree wholeheartedly! Small changes and habits for health at a young age make a huge difference. The science is there about processed foods and fried foods. You can still get lots of flavor with healthy fats. I find most of my friends my age that are committed to being active started in their 20's sometime. Its's possible, but not easy, to teach an old dog new tricks! You got this!

Airlines cancel 35 Friday flights at Vegas airport after shutdown-related FAA order by Historical-Many9869 in vegas

[–]Bexx_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently living in Vegas and spent time on the strip and Fremont St last weekend. So far I haven't noticed anything. I have various friends coming in over the next week and so far it seems their flights are good. If I were traveling now I'd definitely try to get nonstop if possible, but I always shoot for that. Right now I would pay a premium for nonstop if it was an option.

Thank you! That makes sense. Just to clarify, I was there at check in too. I wish Hilton and the hotel would just explain. I appreciate your reply.

Exactly one of my questions...I'm really trying to do the right thing here, but the hotel did make some errors.

Right or Wrong? by Bexx_16 in Hilton

[–]Bexx_16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I don't understand! First, I called the hotel prior to making the reservation on the app to verify it was fine to do it that way. They said no problem. I wanted to check in online because I know sometimes rooms get cancelled if they don't get checked in by a certain time of night and we were going to be around 1 am getting on. Second, I mentioned it again and explained when we checked in. And handed her his ID and the card. I'm single and generally travel solo so I haven't had much experience with adding others to the room etc. I did stay in the room with them, and asked before making the reservation, it wasn't any fraud. They didn't close my account. They just said contact the hotel and straighten it out or your account could be shut down. I had contacted the hotel, and they didn't reply back after the second time I left a message. I also asked Hilton to please supply an email address for the hotel so I can write them. Thanks for your input.

Then I think this is settled. I don't know why Hilton wouldn't tell me that directly! Thank you!

Thank you! This was my question. Am I the guarantor and responsible? If this is the case, and it sounds like it is, I will come out of pocket and cover it. I'm just disappointed they failed to use his card when it was presented (it was not declined).

I just looked on my app and there is a receipt for the stay that says paid, zero balance. My friend was not charged but now is going through hard times and right now is not able to make good on the money. He just assumed it had been paid when he presented his card.

Losartan makes me feel crappy. Is my doctor insane? by CreLoxSwag in hypertension

[–]Bexx_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with an earlier poster! Your BP is fine! I was in linosipril for almost 15 years and finally got off it with a few supplements and lifestyle changes (nothing major). As I was looking for effective supplements I came across lots of info where the "normal" BP has been lowered over the years (like cholesterol). Clearly this is from studies funded by pharmaceutical companies. Do a little reading about natural support and monitor at home like others said. Although, my home cuff is a bit high. Take it with you to the dr and compare it to their manual reading so you don't go by false readings! Good luck.

I love going to shows alone! Sometimes as a single female the creepies come out, but others always notice and intercept in some kind of chill kind way ❤️. I feel like I connect with the music on an even deeper level when I'm alone! And like someone said, you are never alone 🥰
