What do a trencher & losing weight have in comment?

Well, just another side effect of losing weight. Over medication! Seems the dosage for my previous weight was too much for my slimmer self. That and a full day wrestling with a trenching machine, I decided some chest pains were in order.

Long story short, a late night trip to the ER and an overnight in the hospital, 4 blood draws over time showed I was not having any kind of heart issue. Pulse rate in the 40s kinda freaked everyone out. Drop one of my meds and the problem has resolved itself....follow up tomorrow with my PHP and we adjust my meds accordingly. Most likely a stress test to rule out any issues.



Thanks to my wonderful wife, Donna, for all her support and love!

Stay Tuned!

    Once we put ourselves in a healthier mindset and loose weight it takes a while to adjust medications. If you are lucky enough and work out on a regular basis they might have to take you off the meds altogether.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

      You are absolutely correct, just didn’t expect it so soon. My goal would be no meds. Not sure that will happen with a family history but I’m gonna try. Off to a good yet bumpy start.
