Marvin Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 For the past month I've felt completely run down. Shortness of breath and feeling tired all the time. My legs and feet ache and even walking is a struggle. My work has told me to finish early today. However the travel to and from work wipes me out which has impacted on my performance. I'm too tired to cook proper meals for myself which has affected my energy levels. I have docs on Monday so hopefully he will be able to give me a diagnosis. Even my JKB activity has been reduced (not necessarily a bad thing 😂) I just don't have the energy to do anything. So see how Monday goes.

highlandjambo3 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Any heart/circulation issues? Have you had a blood pressure test within the last 6-12 months. I Don’t know how old you are or if you’re a bit overweight (as I am 😳), if the blood isn’t pumping round your body effectively this can make you feel quite tired very quickly. The doc will spot this very quickly. I take a tablet every day and have done since high blood pressure was diagnosed years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Marvin, I hope the doc gets the right diagnosis, so you can get the right treatment, they will probably take bloods etc etc. Hope you are on the road to recovery soon.

Even if you have to wait a few hours. They'd have carried out tests there and then. Feck waiting about on a GP. Sounds grim mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never buy any sauces stock cubes ( although bought low salt one but it tasted shit) and watch the carbs count too and saturates and hardly have any sugar dishes. Theres a really good app called " Yuka" where u scan the bar codes and it gives all those details. Apart from the carbs count but thats usually on the lables.

They say the diastolic is more important to them, as it provides more background. I'm isolated high blood pressure. My systolic is not too bad, but my diastolic is normally high. I've cut out added salt, lost a lot of weight, better diet, however, it makes no difference to the diastolic numbers. If only I could stop drinking uggh.

Debut 4 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 3 hours ago, highlandjambo3 said: I was diagnosed on my final army medical before being discharged……..1 tab per day and 1 aspirin because it’s supposed to help circulation. Got diagnosed with HBP in Feb last year. Went through 3 weeks of slight headches which was unusual for me and went to the docs. Blood pressure was sky high. Straight away onto 5mg of amlodipine. Went a week and still didn’t feel right. Went to A and E straight from work on the Friday at 3pm, came out at back of 9 after a thorough once over and was put on another 10mg of Lisinopril. 15mg a day for me👀 This is someone who considers themselves fit for 49(50 in May). A couple of weeks later at a family meal my older Brother reveals he’s been on blood pressure tablets for 10 years…..cheers for the heads up there could be a hereditary condition in the family!😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
