The nagging cough is an allergic reaction to vasotec and if you get it you
should be removed form the medication. For a person in your age and gender group I am surprised that he did not suggest atenonol (Tenormin) as it is also a beta blocker that will reduce slightly your pulse which has benefits as well for heart attack crowd (men). Atenonal and vasotect will require you to have a cardiac assessment so that you can keep your medical. Not too much other than an EKG and CBC which you should be having anyways and a letter stating that your BP is stable and that there is no end organ damage.

Well, I'm officially old. After watching my blood pressure slowly climb over the last three years (strangely, the years we've owned the hotel -- coincidence? :-), my doctor has decided that my ineffective weight loss efforts aren't going to do the trick. Here are the facts: BP is 155/85. Weight: 197. Height: 6'. Exercise: 30 minutes every day. Family has a history of strokes and high blood pressure. The good doctor says the elevated BP isn't being caused by my weight, which isn't too far out of line for a 46 year old guy. (Although losing 15 pounds would certainly help.) He has prescribed Vasotec for me, which *is* on the AOPA's list of FAA approved medications, thankfully. For those who have already been down this road, did this medication cause any side effects? The doc says the most common one is a nagging cough, for no known reason. Thanks! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

And real beer.
Anyone looking for a definition of Jay's "real beer" or "good beer" comments...Google is your friend. :-) Long live the Jay Honeck, grand beer pooh-bah of Oshkosh (and assorted other locations I'm sure). :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-IA Student-Arrow Shopping Student "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

When Jay gets worried about Mary doing all the flying, he will have the
incentive to do everything he has to do to get his BP down. Of course, Mary is probably cooking all the meals. Is this a conspiricy on her part? When she states that it is time for her to get her instrument ticket, we will have an answer. |

That probably depends on what kind you're doing.
"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:n%y0e.99111$r55.405@attbi_s52... Jay has mentioned a few times that he's been keeping his son company in the weight-training room. Now, my doc tells me that weight training won't do anything for blood pressure or cholesterol, but it *does* build muscle mass. And muscle weighs more than fat. My doc told me that weight training may actually *increase* blood pressure. Which really sucks. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

A standard day involves 8 hour of sleep and 8 hours of work, leaving 8 hours for everything else including exercise. An hour of exercise wastes 12.5% of your "usable" life. As things stand, I can stop exercising but would have to take a diabetes-specific drug for the rest of my life. That would void my 3rd class Medical Certificate. I bought a good bicycle last summer and took several 25 mile rides in hilly country. It helped me lose 10 lbs. over the summer and is much more enjoyable than a stationary bike in a fitness center ... even with the TVs and head phones. I'd always had really cheap 10-12 speed road bikes before and they were a pain to ride. My new Fuji comfort style bike is pretty comfortable even for a 45 year-old body. I'm looking forward to the end of winter so I can get back on the road. Why do you say an hour of exercise wastes 12.5% of your usable life? If it lets you live 10 years longer, then you'll likely at least break even. :-) Matt One eighth = 0.125 or 12.5% One hour of the 8 you have for this sort of thing. I understood the calculation, but I don't agree with the assumption. The underlying assumption is that the exercise has no affect on your lifespan and I don't think that is a valid assumption. You only lose 12.5% if the exercise has no redeeming value on your lifespan. Matt |
