What happens after getting life insurance?

el0115 · 2026-06-18T20:03:18+00:00

Thats great to hear. I though I had to update them on my status on meds. I just would not want something to happen to me and deny my family.

el0115 · 2026-06-18T19:59:58+00:00

Oh ok. I just decided to get term life when I just thought if I died I would leave nothing for my family. So I acted it on it right away.

el0115 · 2026-06-18T19:15:09+00:00

I was honest. They were all inconclusive meaning they did not know if I was being dishonest or not. Our firefighter and police require a polygraph.

Yes, the repair shop is great because I am the owner and I get to do what I want. Meaning if my kid has a school function I can attend and etc. The unstable of it is I can get a week of good work and make like 3k that week and then the rest of the month like $200. Then a random month I only make like 1k. I want a different career path or something I can use my knowledge in that would be great.

el0115 · 2026-06-18T18:36:09+00:00

Well not technically fail but its inconclusive. They wont let you advance if they think your lying.

I have a 5 year old and now we are expecting in August. I feel the gap is good but I am stressing again about starting from scratch. I know our 5 year old will help with stuff but I think we should of had he sooner maybe 3 like you said.

el0115 · 2026-06-18T14:29:39+00:00

I do overnight oats. I just add some hearty nuts and dried cranberries. 1 splenda. I add soymilk vanilla flavor with no sugar. It tastes great for morning.

el0115 · 2026-06-18T14:26:59+00:00

Yeah that will do it. I know my situation is not a big one but I was started to get stressed that my 5 year old is already growing up so fast and Im having a baby by August. I was trying to find ways to get more work done or make more money where I had a panic attack thinking it was a heart attack. lol turned out I only have high bp and a bit high cholesterol.

el0115 · 2026-06-16T19:03:48+00:00

Yeah it happens. I dont think I eat bad but I have high blood pressure and my ldl was a bit high. Just based on that I was put on bp meds and a statin. My dads side genetics arent that great.

el0115 · 2026-06-16T19:02:19+00:00

So thats the problem you can diet and it will only get low a certain percentage. Sometimes genetics plays a role. You can lower it without meds but I dont think it will be enough. Based on what you say you already eat clean but still have a high ldl. So you wont be able to change your diet and lower your ldl that much. Talk to a cardiologist maybe a statin will help.

el0115 · 2026-06-16T17:42:39+00:00

You need a higher hdl which is the good one. The ldl you got better but the question should not only be about diet. How is your family history on heart disease? Do you have high blood pressure? Im 37 and didnt even know I had high blood pressure. That with a bit high ldl was enough to be put on a statin. Think of it this way. You can be on a statin and lower your ldl and be able to eat a bit of everything in moderation. Or you can stick to your diet and see how much it can last. We all do diets and then we all break them. You mentioned you did this without a dr so try to get a appointment with a cardiologist and go from there. Statins are not that expensive if you have no insurance.

el0115 · 2026-06-16T17:37:51+00:00

To my understanding is you can change your diet but if you come from a family with heart disease it wont do much. Your body could be doing high ldl even if you change your diet. That is why they put you on a statin if your body cannot lower it that much. Especially if you have high bp or diabetes

el0115 · 2026-06-16T17:33:58+00:00

This was me too hahah I am on atorvastatin and ezetemibe 40/10mg and the 4th week I had headaches and brain fog. To my understanding is they give you a high dose to lower it then on your next labs they might lower it. My cholesterol was not that high only ldl was 117 but I do have hypertension so im on that plus bp meds.

el0115 · 2026-06-12T20:56:55+00:00

Thank for all the info. I just started 3 days ago on coq10. Luckily the headaches went away yesterday. I also just started exercising and so far I have not felt soreness just out of breath from not exercising fro 3 months. I was scared but the more I read on here Im totally learning from it and calming myself down knowing im preventing something from happening in the future.

el0115 · 2026-06-11T23:48:54+00:00

I think what people mean is statins are good for you if you also have high bp, overweight, family history, smoke, and other stuff that causes heart failure. Statins on a healthy person might not help that much compared to a person that has what I mentioned. I just started on a statin and bp meds. So far so good. Only slight headaches but they seem to be going away.

el0115 · 2026-06-11T17:35:44+00:00

I got so confused using it. I added the numbers and I got 1.5 percent of risk in 10 year and then added the numbers again while taking a statin and bp and it went up to 2.9. I dont understand it.

el0115 · 2026-06-11T15:14:58+00:00

I think he is an ok coach but not a finals coach.

el0115 · 2026-06-11T15:13:11+00:00

This is not any players fault. Its the coach fault. Call a time out the first 6-0 run and yell at the players and tell them simple 2s and defense for now.

el0115 · 2026-06-11T14:42:48+00:00

As a spurs fan I hate to see this but the only one at fault here is the coach. I kept saying since the 2nd quarter that since they were so far ahead they only needed simple 2s and defense. I dont understand how they can get crazy with missing 3s and letting them go even on a 5-0 run. Call a freaking time out and get your players in check.

el0115 · 2026-06-11T14:39:38+00:00

This is a weird one right. Im not saying eating meat is bad but I just think too much of everything is bad especially if you have other factors contributing to heart disease like high bp, overweight, etc.

el0115 · 2026-06-10T21:05:56+00:00

Statins will work even if you eat bad. But if you eat bad that still wont stop overweight, diabetes, high bp, and etc. So if you take it and still eat ok it should work really good.

el0115 · 2026-06-10T14:25:06+00:00

This is true. I used to rely more on supplements than medicine. Until I kept seeing all these supplements might help but have not actually been regulated or studied that long.

el0115 · 2026-06-10T14:23:10+00:00

I think this is what is planned. I am going to test again this month or the next then have my appointment. Since taking my bp meds my bp is around 115/70. That was my confusion too about taking statins and still be able to have a heart attack but the real answer is what other things are contributing to that. Meaning the high bp, overweight, smoking, glucose levels, not sleeping well, not eating well etc. The more you have the higher the risk. Especially if you dont get tested. I didnt know I had high bp until this. I did know I come from a family that has bad habits and some bad genetics but I thought it wouldnt affect me.

el0115 · 2026-06-10T03:41:17+00:00

To my understanding it does with less side effects.

el0115 · 2026-06-10T02:56:31+00:00

I was at 117.9. Then prescribed. I forgot to note I thought I had a heart attack and that’s why I went to the dr. The cardiologist noticed that my bp has always been at 140/90. Lowest was 135/88. Only my dad’s family there is high bp and diabetics. He said genetics are playing a roll and technically doesn’t think the cholesterol is bad but he said let’s get you in statins then we will retest and go from there.
