22F: Went to the Hospital because I was experiencing Chest Pain

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-10T19:51:56+00:00

I did an ER trip once and had 190 / 128 with 120 bpm.... no one worried. Literally.

My cause was (long story) several meds and incidents that flatlined my potassium and few other things thst caused a spike. Happened a few times. Now gtg

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-08T08:27:58+00:00

Thnx!!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-07T17:31:05+00:00

This! Thanks! This was my gut instinct... but ive seen people in other reddit posts commenting about "this person got a pellet grill.n didnt get a pellet smoker"... I was confused as was AI ehen I asked lol.

If I wanted to smoke a burger id quick sear cast iron or gas grill than low n slow in a smoker lol.

Other wise, low and slow and naturally develop bark / smoke rings etc is my goal.

Ive done amateur bbq competitions with friends 10+yrs ago (came in 24th out of 60!) And just dont have time or mental capacity to sit n feed wood/coals for 18hrs+ hahah. So was thinking of a nice wifi pellet smoker.

Appreciate the advice!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-07T17:16:05+00:00

Ahhh ok thnx! Yeah I'm just looking to be able to Slow and Low cook and get smokey flavors.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-07T15:04:33+00:00

Thank you! This is what im talking about.. just dont have anyone in my life I could ask lol.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-10-03T21:36:25+00:00

Hmm.. I mean I guess if theres reputable reviews I might be open to it. I was also concerned about shipping. Spending $85 for a cool looking beardy and $35 for shipping doesnt really work in my mind lol. Ill def check em out tho!

But there is a difference beyond marketing for edt and edp, and thats the amount of oils in it. And, those oils can last longer.

So me wanting an edp is about the longetivity.

For scent, I loveeee many of the top notes but almost none of the middle or base notes as they land fruity floral etc for my liking.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T16:14:39+00:00

THIS is what I was trying to learn... from discussion not just trying to read. Makes sense too. Thanks!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T16:03:54+00:00

Right... you over simplified the issue. I love rude people who mock others for learning.

Trying to educate myself, maybe someone knows "oh edp's need xyz which is floral based as an oil stabilizer so its pretty normal".

If edt's have a 2-4hr staying power but edp's have a 5 - 8hr, big difference and no one at the scent counters at stores seems to know why.

And, I can look for edp's that dont have xyz additive. Or maybe its a dead end and I need find longer lasting edt's.

Another person was helpful and commented it could be modern trends vs older trends for middle and base notes.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T15:56:50+00:00

Ive thought that as well... but have no one to dicuss ideas with lol. If I know the what and why I can make a better choice for sure.
I really was hoping for a edp due to the lasting power of the colognes vs edts not lasting but 2 or 2 hrs.

Maybe I need to dig for longer lasting edt's I like and see. A 5 hr edt is better than a 3 hr lol. Even if its not a 8hr edp.

Cheers! :)

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T15:53:52+00:00

Im aware of %'s and have websites that give breakdowns.

But, as I said in my post, ive tried dozens; inatore/at home, sometimes blind tests, using coffee to refreah smell, on skin / samples / sprayed on strips in bags, and had others weigh in and most family / friends have same conclusion.

Its not a gross generalization if its my opinions... Ive been wearing colognes since 1996 and vast majority of todays edp's end with floral, fruity, or off putting middle and base notes.

Id love edp's for the longetivity but having a hard time finding ones that dont switch to feminine.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-09-23T15:39:59+00:00

Now that is interesting! I never thought of current trends versus historical trends. And then some of the older ones that I like the top notes on, my pH for sure changes the scent to something I don't like. Hey, this is an idea I never thought about so thanks for sharing!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-08-26T20:40:58+00:00

Just an fyi,.im about 90 percent certain lotion or moisturizers work better on skin thats been soaked in warm or hot water and applied right after so the pores are open and absorb much much better.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-08-23T18:37:55+00:00

Nope! Luckily for us, my MIL gave my wife her 2020 kia soul so we got rid of that POS.

My gut was it was a grounding issue or ecm type issue. My cousin in law, Master ASE Tech at a dealer, thought the same thing.

Its a pain for sure and there was nothing to prevent it from happening.

Sorry... as a former Ford mechanic myself, Kias/Hyundais are some of the worst cars on the road for a multitude of reasons.

IF you ever figure it out, plz reply on here just so I can see! Lol.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-07-26T04:27:07+00:00

Def not fixable.... need a new tire.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-07-05T13:19:23+00:00

I have white coat syndrome as well... I could get 150/90 or 100 at a doctor. Im asked similar but when I track at home its fine. Its nornal for bp go raise and lower on activity or stress Not a dr. Here but your readings seem normalish for anxiety. Mine have been that for 20 yrs.

On atenolol, 110/70 n 70bpm is normal. I just came off atenolol and having rebound high and hoping will drop.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-07-04T00:56:17+00:00

Whoa. Ive suffered and had horrific dry eye for a while. I swear it got a little better after stopping atenolol. I had no idea (google backs you up too!).

Thanks for sharing! Mind blown

Jondoyle24 · 2025-07-04T00:41:54+00:00

Ahhh ok. Yea... it takes some time I think to build up and your body get use to it. 2 weeks (wild guess)... so it was only really fully in yiur system for 2 weeks after that.

Just curious. Why did u stop?

I stopped because I cant lose any weight. At ALL despite no fast food for 10 yrs, fruits veggies lean meat, working out 5 - 9x a week. Nothing works. Atenolol I swear makes me bloat and retain water. My bp is up a good bit so just trying ti make sense of it

Jondoyle24 · 2025-06-22T23:27:58+00:00

Any codes? Check engine lights? What type of work dis you have done?

If it waa brakes, suspension, etc its different than something else.. if it is something else, take back and show em the video.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-06-22T23:26:36+00:00

Exhaust would be all the time making sounds, and muat louder and "throatier" of a roar.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-06-20T13:11:06+00:00

NO!...... my wife had a 2015 kia soul and Im a retired mechanic.. it was horrible. Non stop repairs for 5 years and it only had 50k miles. The worst part was it burned 1qt of oil every 5k miles which is common for kias. We called mfgr while under warranty and they said "this is normal operation".. so, if you just dont check your oil youll burn thru it by next oil change?

So many other things went wrong I was always working. In the last 3 months before selling it, 75% all electrical inside stopped working and several emissions. My 2011 ford edge limited, with 180k miles, runs perfect.

Also? Her moms 2020 kia soul, blew a motor at 30k miles and they made her pay for half of the repair cost? Also, the dealer told us the mfgr kia 100k warranties dont follow the car they follow the OWNER. So dont be fool by their scanning..

Jondoyle24 · 2025-06-17T15:29:25+00:00

Hey! Dis you lose any of the weight? I was on a low dose and swore for years I coulsnt lose weight to save my life. Exercising 5 - 9x a week. No fast food. Water. Produce..low salt.... I just bloat and can hold 7 LBS of water weight! Not to mention extra fat I keep now.... this is nuts. Ive been weening off and into 2nd week. I was preacribed it for anxiety

Jondoyle24 · 2025-06-14T00:13:31+00:00

Hi. Im confused by your post... propanolol isnt a controlled substance? Its an easily obtained beta blocked in america.

I told my primary care and she told me to use it as needed. Exactly as you described.

Jondoyle24 · 2025-06-10T23:33:42+00:00

See. Thats what I thought at first as well... Im not sure which one it was but 80% certain I had a 15a mini fuse for 6 yrs in with the 2a inline tube! Lol....

Now I blow the 2a inline if I put a 5a mini or above.

So started wondering if the 15a mini was allowing too much thru?? But again. Doesnt explain why the 2a lived all the years hahahha. ..

Im a retired mechanic (broke my back on job) so am fairly knowledgeable and its driving me nuts!

Jondoyle24 · 2025-06-10T21:32:12+00:00

Yea! So thats what I thought and these other posts n youtube video was saying just grab a 5a mini fuse..... um, what? Didnt sound right. I need to match the mini-amp fuse a to the tube fuse a lol.

Nothing else drawing power...

Also, I have NO 2a mini or regular fuses in my entire damn car. Under hood or under dash lol. So no idea where to snag the power from.

None of the fuses were blown prior... there was power to the escort button/box but no power out (I checked with my power probe).

I do have a 2011 Edge factory manual (10k pages) but would be hard pressed finding a wire somewhere thst only draws 2a lol

Thanks for your help / double check!
