Fenofexadine made no difference to my bp. Being calm is everything. Mine seems better after my morning coffee. Lisinopril seems to have the fewest side effects - some folks get a dry cough. Don't...

I can't tolerate a statin. All of the ones I've tried, both hydrophilic and lipophilic, mess up my muscles. I've had brown pee from it. Recently I've started a prescription for Repatha. It's not a...

I've been taking that for a bad cough, didn't seem to help, but also didn't affect BP. You have a BP monitor? I'm using an Omron, seems to be real reliable. I take mine in the morning, after coffee,...

That sounds familiar. My experience suggests that the ECG won't show anything though you might have a partially blocked cardiac artery or arteries My cardiologist(s) only found my problem with an...

Well, now I worry about my heart. I had a high calcium score, about 350, back in '17. Since October '22 I've had 2 syncopes at about 120 HR in spite of 2 cardiologists telling my there was nothing...

Doubt it's your heart. I never heard of that pain just going away to quickly. WAG is that it's a pinched nerve in your neck or upper spine from all the bicycling. While you're stuck at home, try...

I don't see a difference from food or fluid intake. OTOH my habits are very regular. I always eat and drink about the same amounts at the same time from evening on. On the bike, I'll see increased HR...

When I did my test, the doc said I had the physiology of a fit 43 y.o. And I should stop worrying.

The simplest monitor for training stress is to take your orthostatic HR every morning, without...

The no processed snacks, no soda, very little sugar approach seems to work well. Fat needs to be ~20% or so of calories, and yes, some fats are better, olive oil and wild caught fish being the best....

Something odd is going on then. Heat raises HR pretty drastically. Never drops it. Besides, you live there. You're acclimated. I'm going to guess it's something hormonal, probably related to age,...

About how many hours/feet of elevation gain when this starts to happen? It'll happen to anyone when they're exhausted from riding beyond their recent efforts. It's not a bonk, just pooped. If that's...

Do you use a HRM? What's happening there when you lose power? HR goes way down, skyrockets, stays the same as when you had good power? I know that when I lose power, I need to eat, preferably about...

I'm not sure that this is true. There's a possibility that the same hormones/chemicals which increase HR also relax the arterial walls, the endothelium releasing NO. That's an interesting conjecture....

The usual way is by going all out up a long hill to find your max HR. Some say they see Jesus right as they hit max. Me, I see Moses. ;)

Read that. It's a good book, but does more than a bit of scare-mongering. I've been riding with ultra-cyclists and just plain hard-riding folks for 20 years. We've had two riders develop Afib. One is...
