I take a few things, I have some hella bad BP, and don't tell me it's because I am fat. I have had high BP since I was 25 and I was skinny more years than I have been fat. One good thing about one of my BP meds, it keeps me from going off and killing someone now and then. I am hyper sensitive, so things like stress, allergies, pain affect me differently than most of you. I also take crap for allergies too, and carry benadryl cream, spray, pills and an epi-pen at all times. My tri's have been bad for awhile, I took two different meds for that, HATED them, took myself off. If I can't control the tri's with the diet and exercise changes I have made, then I will suffer with some stupid pill if it means it lessens the risk of the impending heart attack I may have. Really odd though, they tell me I am as healthy as a horse. But my cardiac event possibility is 3x the normal and they have no clue why because my BP and tri's aren't THAT bad. I don't have insurance, so, we aren't likely to find out why any time soon. Might as well do what I can.
I pretty much have oatmeal or cheerios, fruit and tuna daily. I take centrum's cardio vitamin and fish oil. Oh and I have added flax seed to my diet as well. I am at the gym 60-90 mins daily and have lost nearly 8 pounds in the last week and a half. The first month I really pressed hard on the new lifestyle change, I was very disappointed, today, I am better.
