Didn't ride this morning b/c I was tired b/c my younger son kept waking up (weak excuse I know but my wife started working) and I don't ride tired as one small mistake can be costly...
However, I may try another night ride tonite, maybe...
So I did end up riding tonite I feel better

That and "Bikes are stupid, I can't believe my dad made me ride them..."!So I can see it now, in 30 years, when your adult kids are on a forum somewhere:
"When we were kids, all we had to do for fun was pickup goatheads!"

J, I know you're not looking for sympathy, but sorry to hear about your travails at Temecula. BP meds are something I'm also trying to avoid...I haven't heard good things about the effects.

Thx....the meds themselves actually are not an issue....I actually do feel better since I got on them.

There are natural ways to lower your blood pressure. I'm sure you have looked . . . right? Coconut Water for one
. A lot of pre surgery info states to refrain from Coconut water prior to surgery due to that very reason .I will do anything to prevent taking pharmaceuticals
. They only treat the symptoms in my opinion
. Plus, the side effects can be as damaging if not MORE damaging then what they are intended for.
Okay . . . . . I've calmed down.

Good to know....this is the first time in my life I have had the need to take meds. Hell, this was the first time I had been to the doctor for something other than injury in almost 20 years. Wasn't happy about it....but kinda knew it was coming.

Yes... But we're glad that you're taking care of it, and not being stubborn.
Too many other people holding me accountable. Wasn't gonna be able to slip under the radar any longer.

Given that regular cardiovascular exercise is supposed to keep the BP down I'm surprised yours is high.

Are you sure longer rides to get more exercise won't keep it under control?
(OK, you know I wasn't the only one thinking that....
Glad the meds are helping and making you feel better.....)

15 mph northwest wind.
50 degrees.
Didn't want to drag out the vest & arm warmers.
I'm weak.
But on a positive note, Happy 240th to Uncle Sam's Misguided Children!!

I had to get my blood pressure down for a DOT physical. I started taking a couple table spoons of apple cider vinegar with "mother" in orange juice (just for taste) twice a day. Needless to say, within a few days my BP was low enough to pass the test. Now I take 2 spoon fulls a day and have been feeling much better. My tension headaches are gone.

Water temp dropped a few degrees recently. How was it today? Plan on going out tomorrow morning.

With yesterday's chilly winds stirring things up, I suspect the water temps (at Trestles) were about 63-65. Fullsuit for me.

Any side effects with the lisinopril? I was on it for a couple of years and it really messed me up on my rides especially if I was exposed to the sun. I finished a ride one day and my blood pressure was 80/50. I almost passed out. I'm now on enalapril maleate. No side effects whatsoever. Family genetics here as well. I have cardiomyopathy so I take it to keep my blood pressure lower than normal.
