Re: [MBZ] The cath is done

That's the bad thing about high blood pressure, you don't feel bad when it's in the danger zone. You feel bad when you have damaged your heart or had a stroke of some sort. I can tell if mine is up -- I'm all fired up and ready to go at things. When it's "normal" my butt is dragging and

"idopathic ventricular insufficiency" as the official diagnosis, but my cardiologist said that there are a number of virus infections that can cause heart troubles. Some of them infect the heart muscle directly, causing weakness and possible permanent damage, and others have surface proteins

Yup, stress sucks. I've been traveling too much, working too much and worrying too much. I heard that stress can make your fingers cold and noticed that mine were. I wasn't sleeping well and was irritable. I've been at deer camp a week now (came up last Thursday) and last night I went to bed at

Maybe I should try the biofeedback -- my pulse has always been fast (about 100 resting) and BP has been 140 over 70 and up since I was in college. Runs in the family, too, my niece is exactly the same, and when they stuff enough medicine down me to lower it, I pass out and can't think.

I’ve always had a fairly low resting pulse and blood pressure. Just had an insurance company workup this morning and my resting pulse was 52 and my BP was 101 over 57. When I was younger I did a lot of biofeedback to keep my pulse rate down. It’s worked well for me ever since. If I feel
