Scared Solomon

 

Dear Nurse Annie,

I am still very confused and scared.

I was driving last weekend and lost half the sight in one eye. The vision field seemed to be whirling. IT did go away in less than an hour. I have had similar eye stuff before that I have told doctors about.

I stopped diet soda. This is the only caffeine I drink. I never add salt to my food.

My Home blood pressure readings can be 180/110 or 130/80. IT was 140/90 at my doctor.

He told me my Echo test was fine. The did a neck Doppler when I told him about the eye thing. He told me it was fine. He said my blood work was pretty good.

He told me it was too bad the testing was negative because my high blood pressure problem is probably diet and stress related.

He told me my BP was still high and gave me more medicine. I am now supposed to take 5 medications that don’t work.

For years I took one medication that worked. They are not giving me that drug now.

Annie, I eat a low carb diet most of the time and am slowly losing weight.

I walk when I have time for exercise.

I have given up soda (which I love) and have never added salt.

Help Annie, I do not know what else to do.

Scared Solomon.

Dear Solomon,

I agree this is perplexing and discouraging.

You mention you are eating low carb and this is a good goal.

Eating low carb is it very easy to eat foods very high in salt and preservative content.

Also, on low carb diet many avoid high fiber foods.

I suggest:

1.       Continue to monitor your blood pressure and follow your doctor’s recommendations.

2.       Read the packaging for the foods you are eating for salt and preservative content.

3.       Eat 5x the fresh carb vegetables and fruits to foods that contain salt and fat.

4.       Walk and have fun as much as you can to reduce stress.

When do you see your doctor again?

Heart Disease

Dear Nurse Annie,
I just saw a new doctor. He wants to send me for testing of third stage heart disease, because my blood pressure has been high most of the year.
He told me to stop Caffeine and Salt.
He wants me to keep a Blood pressure log.
Is an Echo painful? I am scheduled for one?
I’m scared. What do I do?   
Scared Solomon
 
Dear Solomon,
You have good reason to be scared.
When do you go back to see your doctor?
It is a good idea to reduce salt and caffeine.
Let me know what your blood pressures are when you write again.
An Echo is not painful.
What do you do?
Relax. Take a walk every day.
Have a little fun with your family and hobbies.
Let me know how you do.
Nurse Annie.

Scared Sam

 

Dear Nurse Annie,

My blood pressure is staying down with pills, but my wife thinks I could do better. What should I be eating? I like meat and lots of it. 

Scared Sam

Dear Sam,

What to eat is a good question. We are all looking for way to eat better and still enjoy our food.

Saturated fat: (Meat) Make every bite count. The body has to fight off saturated fat and can make bad decisions about storing it. So we have heart disease.  

Ocean Fish: Add some of this. Look for ways you enjoy fish. (Not fried).

Vegetables: Eat lots. Explore new ways. Raw. Chopped. Steamed. Just enjoy lots of fiber.

Fruit: Eat a lot.

Grains: IF you like grains eat whole grains. Mushed grains are not whole grains no matter what the box claims.

Let me know what you think.

Nurse Annie.

Dear Nurse Annie,

My blood pressure is up. My doctor wants me to take pills. I mean it was really, really high.

My wife says we can lower our blood pressure by eating better.

Annie, this really scared me. What can I possibly do?

I work all day driving my van starting at 4 am. The stress is awful. I pop in cheap places and eat crap.

What can I really do?

Scared Sam.

Dear Sam,

Sam I hear you.  Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Let yourself relax and ease off worrying.

There is a lot you can do to feel better. First, of all promise me you will take the pills until your doctor agrees that you can safely stop or reduce them. Your wife is right, you can eat better and your blood pressure will get better. 

1.       At sunrise, take a break with a little relaxing walk. 20 minutes is good. But don’t worry if it is less or more.

2.       Make good solid changes very slowly. Make a good decision and implement it over weeks. In 3 weeks you’ll have a new habit.

3.       Drink some water. Actually, drink a lot of water.  No.  Coffee, tea, beer, fruit juice don’t count as water. (But hey, juice is better than nothing.)

4.       Hide the salt and preserved foods.

5.       Have a little fun. Instead of driving though a fast food line for French fries, Stop in a healthy deli. Try something you have never tried before. IF you like it do it again. When you drive by a fresh fruit stand or farmers market pick up a little something you like or don’t usually eat. You can keep water in the van for washing fresh food. Enjoy fresh locally grown fruits and veggies. 

6.       When you try a new food just buy a little bit, one red pepper is OK if you have never eaten one.  Then take a little taste. You don’t even have to swallow it. Just taste it every day for a while. Maybe you will add it to your diet maybe you won’t. Try it again in a month or a year. You will like it better. Just have fun.

Sam, Let me know how things go for you next week.  

Nurse Annie.
