Coping with vagaries of advancing maturing age

Wheels of Happiness

My getting of cardio pulmonary clearance for an eye operations led to a new set of health problems:   high bp and high bs.  This was revealed in medical dx prior to issuance of clearance.  So for a week, high dosage of anti glycemia drugs.   The blood sugar went down to a respectable 5.5 mol/ml.   And then the HBP.

The diastolic was low,(at high)  however the systolic was high -  140 - 150 and had me worried.  I though my measuring device an omron aneroid sphygmo was having error.   Thus in the consultation yesterday, had my results double checked.  It was indeed high.    At high 140.    Thus the MD prescribed amledopine and today it  is 103/65.  Wow.  It should be as I do freehand exercises daily aside from biking

Diagnosed with HBP, and clinically blind

This post was sad because the DX of the optha last Saturday was that HBP caused my bloodshot eyes and which I said was not plausible since my bp when I see my family doctor was in the range 110 to 120/60 -80.  She took my bp and it was 140/90.  It was high (maybe for waiting for 2 1/2 hours before she arrived. and 1 hour waiting for my turn .  I was 9th of the 11 patients.  And having not read the rest of the chart, that I was clinically blind and should be careful with my biking

This post hypothesized with the doctor that maybe this post feasted too much during the birthday bash:  2 pcs of crispy pata and two cups of bulalo and 2 pcs of beef.

She referred me to my family doctor, her colleague in the business, for check up and monitoring, preparatory for eye operation for lens installation etc.

And so I had to borrow a digital sphygmo from my daughter to check:

      Last night:    134/80

      Today            117/71

Is it hbp.?

Because of her dx, I refrained from biking until I was sure that I did not have hbp, and that my vision would not put me at risk

Had bloodshot eyes after birthday; had check up with Optha yesterday, it was determined that I had HBP

We should not be complacent even if we diet and bike.  You as I did have some health problems.  I had blood shot eyes (left) a day after my birthday.  I was able to have my check up last Saturday.  The DX was that it was caused by HBP.  My bp at the clinic was 150/90.  (How could that be)  I often prided my bp to be just 110/70.... Huhu

I remembered on my Bday on the 20th, I binged on bulalo and Crispy pata.   These are happening despite 3x bike ride weekly and they were hard.  Did the hard ride cause the HBP?
