Is it ok to stop taking your blood pressure medicine?
I quit smoking 1year 8 months ago, changed my diet and started jogging, I feel great! I take fish oil, vitaminE&C, calcium supplements , ginko biloba, and Ginseng.I last saw my doctor 1/06 and he prescribed me dynacir 5 mg I stopped taking them in March and have been feeling great! I have a blood pressure monitor and I check it regularly and it's fine! Do you think smoking contributed to my high blood pressure? I've never had a problem with my blood pressure until I started smoking!
My blood pressure now is 120/80
Vitamins make my stomach sick?
I'm 22 years old. Ever since I graduated from flinstone chewables, my stomach has always been sick from vitamins! No matter what brand of multi vitamin I buy, or what 'special type' (For women, etc..)... it always upsets my stomach.
I've tried taking the vitamin in the morning after a meal (becuase I know some vitamins need water to break down and others need fat)...I've tried taking them before the meal, I've tried this at lunch time and as well as at dinner time... No matter when I take it - what time of day or before/after a meal...it makes my stomach sick.
I have younger siblings (7, 8, and 9 years old) and last year for christmas I put Scooby Doo gummy vitamins in their stockings... I also bought a bottle for myself(forgot what brand, a popular multi vitamin brand)... These vitamins do NOT hurt my stomach at all! I can take them at any time of day and I'm completely fine.
It says for children over 12&adults chew 2 gummies a day.
Do you think that I'm still getting nutrients from these gummies? Or am i wasting my money?
***ALSO, calcium especially makes my stomach sick. All calcium supplements that I've tried. If I'm drinking and eating food with fortified calcium, am I okay in that department? I do not like milk but I buy calcium fortified orange juice and bread and pasta, and I eat yogurt almost every day. Do I need an additional suppliment?
Another weight loss question.?
Okay, so i am 22 years old, 5'6 and I went to this diet doctor to get on some medicine. Well so she said basically that i have 40 pounds to loose in 4 months, which is of course 10 pounds a month.
Well she put me on phentermine. Along with vitamins and Calcium supplements also. I have heard a lot of bad things about phentermine but i'm not worried about it for now. My main concern is, by last Thursday when i weighed in at the Doctor, i weighed 176, my goal is to get down to 140. Which i have NEVER been passed 169 in my weight loss dilemma. As of right now, a week and one day later i am back down to 169, so i have lost 7 pounds in a week. Which i'm not sure if this is good or bad? Plus now that i'm on this medication and diet whenever i work out i'm VERY weak after i work out and i'm almost sick? It's very strange.. could this be from not eating enough protein?
Someone told me this could be water weight. Which is what i'm assuming it is. But since then i haven't lost any more weight since the 7 pounds and i'm wondering if there is something i am doing wrong or if once i loose the water weight if that is just it? I don't know. Basically i have just quit with the carbs. Which has also been making me feel sick and VERY weak. I'll be okay until i work out then i'm done and can't even get back up. So what do you think? Any advice would be wonderful!
Well let me also explain, i work out every day on my lunch at work. We have a gym downstairs and i go to work out every hour monday thru friday. When i get through working out is when i feel extremely week. I believe this is from lack of protein. We're only allowed 50 Carbs a day though. No counting calories. It's basically the atkins diet on medicine.
& also, yes loosing the weight fast just happened. not that i wanted it to, but since i have, i am getting worried once this is over i will gain it back, what can i do to maybe slow this process down some?
