Will the problems that MAY be developing just go away? Do I really need to torment myself with blood pressure medicaiton that causes other problems., like gout and coughing, and feeling horrible, and arthitis type symstoms. I have already been able to reduce the cholestrol with supplements alone.
Once the damage is done, can it be reversed? Or am I fooling myself.
I can't take the stress test. My blood pressue/and heart rate go to high.
I have a hard time walking up hills..... maybe I'm just not fit.
I have pain from time to time, but I have relux, and don't seem to have these problems when I take stomach meds, or just don't eat the food I'm allergic or sensitive to.
Blood pressure? I'm over wieght and stressed out. It's the stress.... walking I think will work.

Well anything you do needs to go past the doctor but walking is always good. Go to the gym to walk first, like a YMCA, it's air conditioned, flat, and someone is there in case you keel over, just joking! Walk for 5 minutes, go slow, if you feel ok do another 5 a little faster. Slow down again then do sit down and see how you feel. If you feel great maybe do it again just a little faster. Any pain or breathlessness slow down!
If you are really out of shape this is going to take a while to get easy. Some things that will help is comfortable cool cloths, good walking shoes, and music to distract you.
Eventually you will be walking so fast and long you will want more of a challenge and it's time to hit the trail outside!
One thing that helped my husband is flax seed oil caps, keep it in the frig or it goes rancid along with a lot of other nut and seed oils. Grape seed extract is also good. Again check with you doctor before you start anything.
Good luck! Self help is the very best kind!

follow up with your doctor. take a list of your questions and have them answered BEFORE you leave the office.

Walking is very good, but you must do it every day, not just once in a while.
