I take my blood pressure in the morning with a wrist cuff before taking my Amlodipine and take my pressure 2 hours later. It's always lower and within norms. Another study, another conclusion. I've lost all faith in scientists. BTW, red meat is bad. No, red meat is good. Wait! Eggs will kill you. Uh, not so much.
My daily routine pushing 70:
Morning is 2-3 cups of coffee and 2 pills of Milk Thistle (I drink), my Amlodine and Armour for thyroid. A cup of Fiber One with 2% milk.
Afternoon: Walk on treadmill with 3% angle 3 times a week or work around the house in between. Take multi-vits without Iron (males), Saw Palmetto (never pee at night), Vitamin D.
Dinner: Chicken mixed with some Mayo salad on Triscuits with small slices of cheese. I cheat with a bacon cheeseburger about once a week.
Yearly: I have a comprehensive blood work done and the only thing that shows outside of the norms is triglycerides. I'm always amazed the my liver enzymes are within norm. European doctors prescribe Milk Thistle for liver health. I've outlived both my parents and grand-parents so far. Don't want to live forever, but glad I feel like I'm 50 rather than 70.
Here's the ticket gentleman. I also get bio-identical testosterone injections every couple weeks. Ever wonder why young men don't get as many heart attacks or strokes? It costs me $30 twice a month and the best thing you can do for your health if you're over 50. Google it and find out the benefits. You'll feel more energetic, amorous, and your mate will love it. Forget the stupid pills on the commercials.
Did you start with a gel or a patch on the “T”? Also, I’m curious how you got the testosterone therapy approved to begin with if the blood test did not show a low value (under 300, roughly).
The testosterone tip is a great one, imho, my doc had me on the gel (I was never sure if I enjoyed it or not) but the second time around my insurance wouldn’t cover it. I may start up with the injections. For those who want to try the pills for amorous activities, there’s a TCM herbal called Horny Goat Weed, best results taken in the mid- to late afternoon, assuming happy fun time starts near bedtime.
Testosterone might be good for you unless of course you have a high PSA.
My doc has me on levothyroxine for not having a thyroid due to cancer. He never mentioned the two you are on. Why are you using them?
