Just got discharged from the hospital

[razorjak]

It wasn't a heart attack. But they still kept me overnight because the doc wanted to do a few tests this morning before he would release me.

chest pain, shooting pain up the left side of the neck, dizzyness and numb lips.

Yeah it kinda scared me a bit. And it looks like I have to readjust my BP meds again. Friggin system keeps getting immune to them or something. I'm not saying what it was at it's highest last night when they had me in the ambulance. Let's just say there was a 2 in the front of the top set.

I walk an average of 6-7 miles a night during my work shift alone ( according to my pedometer ).

I'm 6'2" most assume I'm around 240 when they guess. Built like a brick, I am.

You probably have that "legs like steel bands" thing going on like I do, in that case. My last job at the grocery store kept me on my feet walking and moving things for 8+ hours a day too, but that just seemed to help me maintain the weight, not lose any.

I do a lot less walking now, but the other stuff I'm doing seems to be helping (I hit the pool at my hotel jobsite once a week, ride my bike whenever I can, and do a lot of walking and stair-climbing at the hotel two nights a week.)

How's your diet? (I assume you've been cutting down on salt.)

Legs like steel bands, Abs like steel bands as well ... sheltered under a large dose of pudge. But still solid. SOlid enough that people hurt themselves when they punch me in the guts. (- the two things jackasses always seem to hit me ... the gut or the jaw. Both fairly ineffectual on someone like me. -)

The only way I could cut my salt down would be to knock out the soda I drink. Which I don't do much of to begin with.
