Prayers needed for one of our own

[512detail]

So I called the 24 hour nurse line because I was freaking out that my latest blood pressure reading was 106 over 73 and she was like, umm sir that`s fantastic.

512Detail- Glad you`re making such good progress already!

I`m confident that you`ll find healthful food that you like, just might take a bit of experimenting.

Thanks.
I`ve never had such a collection of fresh herbs, spices, fruits, veggies and non red meats.

Just need a few heart healthy cook books or something.

Ask your Doc to send you to a Heart Healthy cooking class. Most heart doc`s have someone in their office that puts the classes on.

Yes, my cardiologist calls it Lifestyle Class.

Lesson learned - look in your grocery store`s bulk (unbagged) produce section for herbs and stuff. At my normal store, a twist-tied bunch of parsley is $1 where the little plastic boxes are $3+. I wasted a bunch of money before figuring that out...

I think a lot of recipe sites (I`ve used allrecipes_com a lot) will have healthy sections, or even filters for what kinda cooking you`re looking to do.

Actually I would be more concerned about that bottom number being in the 90`s. That`s kind of high. Meds have gotten me down to 94/52. When it starts getting too low you`ll start feeling really tired...

That`s good. I saw you post those numbers, then the post about taking Nitro, thought you might be going back in. 70`s is good.

I might be taking the nitros when I dont really need them. I`m still new to this and not used to just laying around. And considering I probably had the main heart attack on Friday and drove myself to the ER the next morning feeling better than friday, well..its just all so new.

I called the Nurse line earlier and they said that blood pressure and potentially going back in are not necessarily related . So then I asked if I could talk to the doctor and they send me to the on call line and they told me the doctor will call me back in 20 minutes and that was at 6:15 and it`s 9 o`clock now. So I haven`t even gone to my 1st cardio appointment with this doctor`s office yet and I already don`t trust them.

Seems to be a cadilogy thing. The cardiologist I go to never calls back, neither does anyone else in his office. My mother was having problems with her meds and they didn`t call her back for three days, she`s 86 and had bypass surgery about 30 days before this happened.
Are you feeling like your heart isn`t beating right, feeling it beat in a different place, or chest pains when you`re taking the nitro?

I feel like someone put racing fuel in my blood. And of course my head as a balloon.

It`s a pretty crazy feeling and makes me uneasy.

I assume you`re taking your blood pressure when this is going on? Is your pulse staying in the 70`s when it`s happening?? I understand your head feeling like a balloon after the nitro, not before though. Some of it is anxiety I`m sure, you just went through an extremely traumatic experience. So when things don`t feel quite right the anxiety starts. Anxiety alone can make you feel like you`re having a heart attack.

It`s definitely better to take the nitro when you don`t need it vs not taking it when you do.

That sounds bad. Maybe your doc can prescribe something for anxiety to help. Or change the meds you are on tonsomething you can better tolerate. I’ve had some good docs and some bad docs, stay on them to help you feel better.

I`m a little late to this thread but it`s good to see you`re doing alright and keeping a sense of humor! For the diet, it`ll only be tough making the initial adjustment, but after some time it`s no longer a diet, it`s your lifestyle.
