    He probably sees WAY too many people, every day, that are worse off than he is... and I think when you see too many, it has the opposite effect.

    Not to jack the thread.... but Dave (and Uro)...

    When you started taking the medication, can you describe how you felt "before" and "after"? I am a definite Type A personality, I also have elevated blood pressure. Doc says my exercise and weight loss is helping but he'd still like to see my BP lower. I've heard medicine is a one-way street... once you start, that's it.

    Some folks I've heard from said they felt "great" after getting on BP meds.

    What does "great" mean? What's the before and after?

    Meds are a one way street in that they help you but don't correct the underlying problem (what ever it might be, we rarely know). If you quit the med, the HBP comes back, but the med didn't cause it or certainly don't cause it to be worse.

    As far as "feel", I feel exactly the same except for that feeling that my face and chest are going to explode during stressful times. I swear, there were times that I felt like my eyes were going to explode blood out their sockets. ...Now thats just a distant memory.

    The down side to the Beta blockers (like atenolol (which is about $10 for a years supply)), is they keep your heart rate down and strenuous activity can make you feel like your legs are made of lead, I suppose because of decreased blood to them. Increased activity can overcome the affect as the heart rate will eventually rise.


    Oh, and some people get a limp noodle with beta blockers; for me that doesn't matter since I'm married.

    What he said, all except for the limp noodle part, even though I am married too.

    Have trouble getting heart rate up without getting dead legs, I find a recumbent bike is better than a treadmill.

    No more flushing. I don't get that feeling at all. Before, my BP would react to almost any stimulus. I'm actually a calmer, easier to get along with person now that my BP is under control. (Which is not to say I'm easy to get along with, just easier. :D)

    The word on 2012 is getting around. According to a source close to me, a "dark planet" currently unseen by mainstream astronomers is already beginning to disrupt the physical structure and balance of the solar system, and by 2012 will come close enough to really fuch things up.

    For the existential angst, write yourself a script for clonozepam 1mg, take as needed, don't worry too much about the underlying issues. It'll probably get you thru '12, as well.

    Actually I'm feeling better. No need for retirement funds to last past '12!

    Got it. I only let on when I get the signal.

    I hadn't thought of that aspect. If Mr. O makes mine disappear between now and then, what's to worry?

    Sounds like a funk....

    Well, if you lived anywhere near me, I would stop by, talk F-Cars and do some woodwork! Good times. :)

    Got a call that Redoubt just put ash 50,000 feet into the air. Neat. In a few hours a quarter inch of ash gray will turn my city into Manhattan. I've got a few minutes, but I recon that I'll duct tape folds of cloth over every intake into my house.

    I've got gas for the power washer, and volcanic ash ruins stained siding. Might as well add some anti-freeze to that mix since water hates to flow below freezing. My gf left her panties next to the bed so I'll use them as a breather. Could be worse.

    News is interviewing some mechanics that says pantyhose filters out ash...just put them over intake and live happily ever after. Is that control top or what? I mean...pantyhose? If they were so good at filtering, they'd come as standard. Here's your Ford 350 spec sheet...4.11 gears, twin turbos, diesel...and pantyhose. Would you like those in sheer to waist or control tops?

    The world defies my sense of it.

    Hope it doesn't get as bad as you expect. But you can never be too cautious.
