Dawn, glad to hear you are exploring your health issues with your doctors and staying with conservative activity at the workout facility.
Some what like you, about two years before I retired, I rarely saw the doctor. Until one day I didn't feel well or just couldn't feel alert. I went in for a physical and my heart rate was like 175 over 140. I had to immediately go on blood pressure medicine (which I hated because I was so used to being type A at everything and this stuff just laid me low, felt like I would walk around like a member of the walking dead slot videos). The doctor explained they don't have a category for stage 5 or 6 hypertension so I stayed on the meds. Once I retired in 2015, I made a life goal to get off the meds - I lost 20 pounds by exercise and diet, increased my cardio activities, and by 2017 after fours years of taking those meds I was able to get off them.
Today, I go to the workout place 3 to 4 times a week, dance about 4 or 5 times a week and eat like a 95 year old man with stomach cancer (salads 5 to 6 nights a week). I have manage to keep the weight off and improve my physical well being - despite being lazy as hell as I just hire everything out around and in my house - but it frees up a ton of time to golf. Right?
It was my mental will that enabled me to succeed. I sincerely hope you can find the mental strength within yourself to improve your health because we want to continue to appreciate having you around! Don't let up....
