Always been a scooterist although my first ever bike was a Suzuki ER 50 but we've all got previous 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am not great at this trolling business. It might of pissed me off 40 years ago when i was a young daft boy. One of my pals has a Triumph, hate to say, it's a cracking looking bike. You might need to ask some of the posters on here for trolling advice. 🛵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Meh, thats me on tablets for high blood pressure. I am on the borderline and could have worked at lowering it naturally for a few months , but I really would struggle to do much more to help as I dont smoke , am not overweight and dont eat particularly badly, apart from my Skittles addiction. I have exercised more this year than the last 15 yrs yet it is still high. Since the thought of spending any more time at the gym or giving up my wine would cause me even more stress, I am going on the tablets. For anyone not familiar with high blood pressure, there are no symptoms which makes it particularly dangerous. Mine was noticed a year ago at a general check up but at that stage was just below the first stage of hypertension. I should have got it rechecked but never went due to covid. I bought a heart monitor a couple of months ago it was about 145/94. I contacted the doctor and was asked to take 2 readings a minute apart, twice a day for 10 days, then send it to them. My average reading came out at 138/85 and they recommended I go on tablets although they wouldnt be adverse for me to try and get it down naturally. Undiagnosed, high blood pressure is very dangerous and can cause strokes and heart attacks . Things such as smoking , being overweight, eating too much salt, not exercising , drinking too much alcohol can cause it. Sustained high blood pressure tends to come from your lifestyle over a period of 10-20 years, not the short term. I would urge anyone who feels they may be susceptible to it to get a check at the docs , or buy yourself a monitor. I got a basic one in Boots for £20 .

I made a curry earlier and used 10 teaspoons of garam masala instead of rogan josh , so I had better keep my specs on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasagna being defrosted for tomorrow won't help though, and my immediate concern will be acid reflux. I think I'm way past the stress of loosing again, but will I be able to handle the excitement of winning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got as far as ‘can I drink sauvignon blanc’ on the blood pressure medication flow chart . Loose stools stop you from straining which probably takes the pressure off, but loose bowels are often caused by stress which is bad for blood pressure.
