I have posted many times how my body reacts to anything new. I have not bee able to eat anything new on a regular basis for 30 or more years now. my body only tolerates meat eggs cheese and unsweetendd almond milk and some basic supplements on a daily basis. carbs I think have been the root of it. but here is the strange thing. carbs made my esophagus hurt so bad endgame me what I thought was heartburn my whole life. well my esophagus went nuclear about 5 or so years ago upon the 4th of July no less. it was like the worst heartburn 24/7 for almost a year before it let up.
but here is the thing even with all my torn muscles and going to urgent care my BP was normal. but when I went in the next day because they thought I was having a heart attack my bp was up. I don't remember exactly what it was in the 150's and over nity I think. but that was like a turning point my BP went down a bit but its still in the hypertension stage one for the last 4 years. it would creep up in sage two sometimes but it has been creeping up in stage two more often. riding at least 30 miles a day would bring it down to stage 1. but anymore it =has just creeped into stage 2. my doc was ok of stage one because of my age. but its not going down anymore.
my diet does not help meat 3 times a day. though anymore I have cut back on fat as much as I can. I mean now instead of the 1/2 pound of bacon I had every breakfast I now have mostly ground pork or some fresh sausages and a little bacon off and on. Salt seems to taste way too slaty so I have been trying to not eat as much processed meat. so now I eat mostly fresh meat on a day;y basi. I can eat veggies 3 times a week but that seems about the extent.
so for all these years I have found nothing I could really digest on a daily basis besides what I was when this started. all the meds I tired (but for Tylenol and Benadryl ) have either bothered my esophagus or my body or both. if I eat anything that bothers me on a daily basis I get weaker and weaker and I may get a cold or flue like systems. I will loose muscle and be physically weak.
so I have spent so much effort controlling what I eat ad riding my bikes as much as possible. they make me feel better overall.
but my bp is not being nice and I am worried about taking meds for it.
so for me the worry is not so much my bp but taking meds for it. I have worried about spending time in the hospital and how that would actually work. I mean how many people do they deal with that cant tolerate any carbs Andean only eat what I can eat? its a bit crazy. I finally found a good GP she has helped me as much as she can gave me idea's that have helped. she said she thought my bp was ok for me being 59 years old. but its been creeping up since then. I check every day with a setup that checks three times and gives me a average.
thinking about the the meds I tired were all the tummy pills that are normal for people with GERD and one that was a mild mela pill that helped with esophageal l problems. the tummy pills caused issues because it was my esophagus and the esophageal hypersensitive I have. I had to suffer a day of having my stomach PH tested and it was fine. I finally worked it out its almost all just been my misbehaving esophagus and to the typical GERD most people have.
