I think; A routine of 16 hours a day playing with tractors and the kids would probably take care of the blood pressure problem….work will always be there….let somebody else do it.
 
Ya got my prayers buddy. My son had open heart surgery 2 years ago at 17. He was back 5 weeks later playin High School soccer and plays College baseball now. There are amazing things they can do now days...Hang in there and I'll bet they'll have ya feelin 34 again in no time!!! Greg
 
Josh,
You got our prayers for sure :!: Slow it down a bit and enjoy life. I plan on stopping by one of these trips to Ohio to meet you! You should have been with us today at the Mini Stonethrow fest.... now that was relaxing and a nice break from the Christmas rush. Andrew is right he knows how to take it easy, I've seen him in action (or inaction :D ) as the case may be :!:
Take care listen to the Doc's and have a wonderful Christmas :!:

Take it easy Josh and enjoy the world around you. We have to remember that our jobs are not who we are. I appreciate your prayers for me and rest assured you are in mine. Peace, and joy my friend.

Josh: You're WAY too young for this to occur in your life so besides prayer, there's lots you can do in the interim before your physical. (I'm surprised he didn't put you on some BP meds to lower that diastolic (lower number which needs to be below 90 - ask me how I know). I don't know you, your lifestyle, family history etc, but there are many things you can do to start lowering those numbers:
1) Decrease your intake of salt as much as possible - retains water = higher BP. Stop eating salty foods such as pizza, ham, pork etc etc and increase fruits and veggies, DON'T salt food at all.
2) I'd guess in your job there's a lot of down time which I bet includes lots of soda pop - diet or otherwise !! Stop them both - sugar and/or aspartame are both bad news - drink bottle water.
3) Caffeine is another contributor to BP increases - less coffee, chocolate - whatever contains caffeine is very important. Tea has more than coffee.
4) MODERATE exercise is always helpful, but if you feel winded or lightheaded, stop immediately.
5) If you use alcohol, I'd slow that one down to maybe a glass of wine or a beer.
6) Smoking is a vaso-constricter big time - if you do, don't.
Use common sense and don't worry excessively - it just adds to the problem. I've seen pics you've posted of your family which clearly highlights how important it is for you to start your lifestyle changes immediately. Good luck, Craig
 
We will be praying for you. Only by knowing Jesus Christ as YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR can you have peace and assurance no matter what the circumstances.
 
Take care of yourself Podge, you have a great family that needs you and that includes the FarmallCub family too.

Guys, I appreciate the good words. I have to say I have never been so glad to be a part of something as this Farmall cub family. Some of the greatest people in the world reside here.

The blood pressure meds have really jerked a knot in my tail, so to speak. Its only been a week now but I have never had so much trouble getting use to medicine. Up one minute down the next. Hopefully it gets me lined out and hope and pray that nothing bad turns up on the tests Jan 11


GOD BLESS you all and have a Merry Christmas
 
Just remember Podge. BP medication WILL knock you flat for awhile.
Your body has gotten used to operating at that high BP level and
getting it down to normal will leave you tired and washed out.
DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED AND STOP YOUR MEDICATION :!:
Stick with it and your body will eventually adjust. Work with your doctors, we want you around for a long time.

Josh: I take the minimal amount of a BP vaso-dialator called Norvasc. I'm here to tell you, I could've fallen asleep anytime, anywhere for about a month until my body got squared away so don't fret this little speed bump - it beats the hel out of a stroke or something worse. Craig
 
Podge don't do what i did, i worked all the time 24/7 most of the time and burned myself (mind) and my body out. I didn't save some for my later years i just worked too hard. I became disabled at 52 in 02 but my doctor told me to get disability in '94 which i refused i was too dumb and wanted to stay working. Now i'm in worse shape because of that.

Relax, get the proper meds and take them as perscribed by your doctor listen to him. I'm here today because of my doctor and his care. My two older brothers aren't. I lost one at 43 and another at 52. The 52 yo one never went to the doctor and thats not good....

Anyone who doesn't see a doctor for a checkup you better go NOW!!!!! I have diabetes, high blood pressure and more.... The heart can be a silent killer so now is the time to take hold of getting care for it. Medicene is unbelieveable today and they can fix anything if they catch it in time so go to your doctor NOW!!!

Please I still need help on this forum.(kidding).......my prayers and thoughts are with you, take care of yourself nothing is more important to you than you are remember that. As we get older this stuff sneaks up on us very quietly.....

I think most of us treat our cubs better than we treat ourselves??? :?:
 
Hey bud,

I don't know you yet, but I can tell you that blood pressure medicine is tough to get used to. Just stay in touch with the Doctors and tell them everything you experience, so they can make adjustments and help you get things straightened out.

Merry Christmas...go smell the roses!

Prayers can do a lot, but sometime you have to help them out. TAKE CARE of your self. Those long work days are not worth it if they put you health in jepardy.
