If you are having trouble doing your normal activities, that is worth a visit to the Dr., to me. It might be helpful for you to keep a log book of these readings, including your activities and how you felt at the time, to have something concrete to show the Dr. They shine us on if we compalin of these things, especially as we get older.Other things of interest: have you recently gained or lost weight? Any trouble breathing, allergies, changes in diet. I had a dizy episode one day so much so that my husband called 911. BP was 90/55. Put my feet up, told them to not take me into the ER. I had been working on a computer project all day, got dehydrated and stood up & felt woozy. I went for a check up at my Dr. next day, all perfect, BP 100/60. Moral of this story: drink lots of water in AZ!

Yep I am writing things down so I can show a Dr.
It's been hot and humid every weekend.
I drink about 3 qts to a gallon a day
I have been eating low sodium for decades, since my mom got high blood pressure... changing that now.
Last month I have been eating 8 hr block, intermediate fasting, trying to loose the winter weight...changed that on Tuesday.
Haven't been to the gym since March... I get 8k to 10 steps most days.... going to do some exercise tapes.
Tuesday morning to is when I first woke up dizzy. I thought maybe several things
Diabetes, ordered meter..ate breakfast instead of skipping
Allergies= inner ear...pill didn't help
Low BP yep..but why...
diabetes can cause, but so far numbers ok.
Electrolytes issue , hence salty things, electrolytes... I will see over the weekend if it straightens out.
Of course there's a possibility of heart issue... exercise should, maybe, help.

Good morning everyone.

Well my date cancelled on me again for today. I think I'm done with this. There has to be some show of effort from the other person to make it work.

Good morning Daniel, have a great day

With heart issues, best to find out before beginning any new exercise regime. My husband has high blood pressure, so we eat low salt. He went to a kidney specialist after a suspicious annual blood test, mild renal "stage 3" issue. Dr. advice to us was lower protein in diet, low salt. We eat more fish, red meat only once a week. Dr. said lots of people our age (60's & 70's) would be stage 3 renal disease if they were tested. Kidneys are quite related to your BP. Hot & humid really sucks the electrolytes out of you! Kidney Spec told us alternate, one water, one Gatoraid.

Take care, especially in the heat. We get more sensitive to it as we get older. The only good thing about keeping getting older, is it beats the alternative! My guy is on an over 60 softball team, there are guys playing into their 80's & 90's. We just keep doing our daily activities, not stopping but maybe slowing some!

Yes I retired in 2012 and the heat bothers me more every year.

I am planning to have more poultry in my diet here, starting in about 8 more weeks.

Yesterday was a bad day for us. Not only did I fry those 14 guinea eggs, we lost another guinea and are down to 5 adults, and one of my Dark Cornish girls baked herself by overturning the feed pan on top of her. Fortunately, it was one of the girls I don’t need for next year. Still.

DH was kind enough not to tell me until after I got back from my Costco run and had a nap, dinner and a bath.

Sorry Rae, that stinks!
