I've had a surge in varicose veins, and spots/sores in the lower leg which could be something or nothing. The doctors give you cream and tablets to treat them but the heart? Nothing, until I get a thrombosis or a stroke.
I've started taking a half aspirin daily, ground up and scattered in my food. Compression socks, Fexofenadine for the itchy leg spots and sores and Bicarb for anything else I might have; so far, so good. BP wildly fluctuates at times, but that could be weather or spicy food . . .
The joys being old! . . I've stopped the red wine, and palpitations/missed beats no longer occur (beer's ok lol) I have elbow pads on my jacket, a sit up and beg riding position but . . I'm still here and doing stuff.
Home remedies are becoming very popular now since it's getting harder to see a doctor in my little country.
Maybe we should share some . . .
