High Blood Pressure
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" |
