I have been on a diuretic for my BP since I had my hernia almost three years ago. Last Thursday, I saw my Doc with readings for a six week period. I got another medication for it. Lisinopril it is called. I started taking it on Saturday. Today I was at 110/69.
I have also been getting regular exercise in the form of my Walmart Special Mountain Bike. I had to replace an inner tube on the back tire and hit the sprockets and chain with WD-40 but it works. I ride at least three days a week for up to 8 miles at a time. Low impact Aerobic type stuff. No more running for me.............
Still cleaning out from the quitting smoking in 2009 when the kidney was removed. .
Additionally I saw a news article on the Army website that said SecDef Hagel has shortened the furlough for us DoD civilian employees. I need only five more furlough hours to meet the new total. It has been cut to six days from eleven but we are on an alternate pay period so I have been losing 17 hours per two week pay period.
Good Day, I do believe.
Good day, indeed.
ReplyDeleteLisinopril is the generic for Zestril.
ReplyDeleteI've been on it for what seems like forever.
It works just fine.
Another generic form is Prinivil.
I took that, too.
Good job on that BP.
Mine's been running about 120/70.
Thanks Guys!
