I commented to my doctor. I am so fortunate to have her as my doctor. She is Dr Jacqueline Carter. She is with the VA in Monroe. I have been seeing her for seven years. She set up several tests and made several changes in my treatment. Reduced a heart medicine dosage, added a water pill, and prescribed compression stockings.
The tests were a stress test, heart echogram, carotid artery exam, and an esophagus exam. The stress test indicated my heart was pumping good but had a few blockages.
She called after the heart echogram and made the comment "your heart is pumping like a teenager".
I tend to have low blood pressure but it has not been a problem since I started the water pill.
Below is a table of my vital signs. Columns are date, steps, weight, blood pressure and pulse. I am adding temperature.
Notice my static weight. Do not seem to be able to get below 240.
