I got off lisinopril because one of it's side affects is a hacking cough. No joke. I got put on that stuff about a year ago and I had this hacking cough that would never go away. I wasn't sick or anything. I tried all kinds of meds. Finally went to an allergist to check for asthma. I told her I was on liprinosil and she told me it causes coughing in some people. Went back to my doctor and he switched my meds. Sure as chit that cough went away almost immediately.

DH = dear husband
DW = dear wife
DS = dear son
DD = dear daughter
DXH = dear ex-husband (maybe a bit sardonic)
etc

edit to add: I also appreciate Vollygirl’s translation, or my best guess of it 😜

My now DXH was also a dh at the time. Someone else’s problem now.

I never would have thought that high blood pressure would give you dementia. I got up to 225 and my heart beats to fast that's why I go to gym I am at 204 now but got high cholesterol and hypertension on antenolo for heart atorvastatin for cholesterol I also have anxiety bad the antenolo helps . At 225 I had obesity and quit drinking cokes and exercise no longer in the obesity area at 204 and my blood pressure is better.

I was 185 and got a office job and shot up to 225 when I quit drinking sodas I lost 10lbs just from water.

I'm not a big guy, 5'6" abd 155. I got to 165, but when I cut peanut butter I dropped to 150 quickly. I've gained about5 lbs the last several weeks, but not in the waist. It slowly went up as I started using heavier weights, but my waistline got smaller. It's weird😄

My heart beats fast when I exercise. 200 bpm during one of my workouts according to my garmin watch, which isn't realible of course. So I bought a Polar H10 chest strap hrm, and it stays pretty close to what my watch does. Kinda scary. But I haven't died. So there's that.

One of the smartest things I have done - granted, the list is short - was to stop drinking sodas back in the early 90s.

quit the sugar sodas and the diet sodas 6 years ago -lost 55 pounds -if I drink a soda now its only Coke Zero -- also TFG mentioned salt -- high sodium is is a major cause of high BP as well

When exercising it's 225 minus your age is what your max heart rate should be I believe.

An artery is an artery. Hypertension contributes to hardening of the arteries, and high dietary fat and stress contribute to fatty plaques in your arteries.

If it happens in the arteries of your heart, you have coronary artery disease. In the arteries of your legs, it’s peripheral artery disease. In your brain, it’s cerebral vascular disease.

In my mom’s case, she probably doesn’t have the plaque, but that high blood pressure pressing on the walls of tiny arteries in the brain increase the possibility of a leak. Since my mom is on anticoagulants, tiny bleed into brain + slow blood clotting means a good possibility of mini-strokes, plus the general hardening of the arteries that makes it harder to get oxygen to her brain. She’s ridiculously healthy otherwise, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, 5’7”, 115 lbs and life long athlete. The untreated high blood pressure (we’re talking for YEARS) was her only risk factor for dementia.

But enough gloominess for New Year’s Eve. Good for you for dealing with this now!
