More explanation for my doctor freaking out

I haven't given anyone much information about my doctors appointments. Below is the information you have been wanting. Please don't freak out and treat me like I'm about to die. If I am to spend time "with the fishes," it will be because I live by the ocean and have decided to go snorkeling. At the end of this post I will include the precautionary measures I am taking to ensure I am around to ruffle feathers for a very long time. THE BELOW IS A CLIP FROM THIS WEBSITE, and more in depth information can be obtained from said page: http://www.medicinenet.com/congestive_heart_failure/article.htm "Diseases such as hemochromatosis or amyloidosis can cause stiffening of the heart muscle and impair the ventricles' capacity to relax and fill; this is referred to as diastolic dysfunction. The most common cause of this is longstanding high blood pressure resulting in a thickened (hypertrophied) heart." I spoke with my doctor again on Friday. I have been placed on a drug called, "LISINOPRIL" I am to log three times daily, my blood pressure. I will have a visit every two weeks until my BP is well controlled. Then every few months or so to make sure it is still where it needs to be. I have known my blood pressure was too high for about a year, but didn't think that stuff mattered until I was in my 40's or something. My doctor believes it may have been elevated for a few years and is "CONCERNED" That if I don't get it under control it will lead to congestive heart failure. Which, by the way, would suck! She has refused to help me get pregnant at this point. (we'll see). She told me that she doesn't think my heart will support me and a baby right now, but there is still hope for the future if I get this under control. She also wants me to loose another 30 lbs. She says this will help my blood pressure go down but doesn't think it will solve the problem. Based on my family history, she agrees with aunt Kay; That the Tarvers are freaks of nature. :) I think its just a bad gene or something. Although, I am kind of a crack-pot. As far as prevention goes, I am off bed rest now (Ha bed rest!) and am allowed my run in the mornings again. I have become -AGAINST MY WILL, MIND YOU- a vegetarian. However, she says I can still kill any animal I like. Since I promised to stick to it, I get to be a "Lacto-Ovo vegetarian." Which means I am allowed dairy and eggs. Which is good, because vegan just sounds ridiculous! To go from chicken and steak and fish to dirt and grass... Well you get the idea. I am also allowed to be a carnivorous beast for all major holidays. I'm excited for thanks giving. I've decided to practice my archery skills and have our turkey of a neighbor for thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately Wendy (the manager) says that the use of guns is illegal in the city. :) But that's enough for now. If you have any questions, let me know. Unless its impertinent. If its an impertinent question, it will be promptly ignored/deleted. Love ya! Ila.
