Why I Go Here For Medical Advice

I had my physical today. Let me first pose this question to you guys “How does being cold affect Blood pressure and Pulse?” So I get on the waiting room an...

Could be a lot of things, but it's pretty common, I think. What's not common is all them funny lookin', little wrinkles on your fingers. 😁

LBlack14 Lucky I love you😊😊😊… bastard. Wait until you’re MY age!!😊

johnnydoom circulation to those specific fingers while driving like having the side of the finger pressed against a spoke on the wheel. Nothing

Hmmmm. Ring pressure while driving ?

Eguller Naaaa I’ve been wearing 2-3!rings on each hand for years. It looks like it’s lightening up this afternoon.

The taking of, or giving of, medical advice on the internet can oftentimes create even more health problems.

I am no doctor, nor did I study anything medical while in school. I did grow up on a farm and did surgical removal of porcine testicles. As a horse trainer I did administer routine health injections & gave various treatments to my charges.
But I do not feel that gives me the right to offer medical advice.

But...if you add bacon, to anything...it instantly becomes an anti-depressant!!
Tell me I'm wrong.

My hip or piraformis issues I had all winter which were borderline crippling are completely gone. Let’s see if they come back over the winter.

Typhoon My hip or piraformis issues

You're getting old or swinging a bit too hard........ or both. 😉🏌

Typhoon

Eguller Yeah both🙄. But it’s weird that now with me playing and walking I’m ok. Last winter by the end of the day I could barely walk.

Eguller

Been there, done that. Last Winter, I went through 6 weeks of PT for those issues. Movement helps.
Hot = flexible, cold = issues. 🤔

Eguller Geez, you guys never learn. I simply just stopped aging, no real secret.😎😁

Shut up and get back in the cocoon Paul😁

Typhoon Always a hater in the group. Come on out to Las Cruces, the land of never aging--something like that. Oh yeah, New Mexico, Land of Enchantment.

Bravopilot Probably never below 40 degrees.

[deleted] When the ex-wife first moved here 6 years ago, my boys came out for Christmas and they had snowmageddon, 5 inches. It snowed this past Jan, didn't last long, flurries. High desert here (4000'), gets chilly at night Dec-Feb. Not Maine chilly, but my son does use the gas fireplace--actually have 2 in the house, oddly enough.

BTW, not many trees here, limited time chopping firewood. Something to think about🤣

Bravopilot When I would go out to see my dad at Christmas it would often get down into the teens and twenties for low temps at night. But usually by 9:00AM I was in my shorts and t-shirt. The low humidity seems to help with comfort in both the summer and the winter. Even when it's 40 or 50 degrees out there it doesn't feel clammy like it does in the east.

Bravopilot Hmmmmm...honestly before I got remarried I had Arizona, Texas, NM on my radar. I'm almost done with my mortgage. I can't imagine starting that bullsh!t all over again. Besides, Archie hates the heat..lol

Prices lately I get heartburn frequently. Has nothing to do with spicy food, seems like after every time I eat anything. I take 2 Aleve every morning to help ward off aches and pains. I was reading that could be the cause. I’m going to stop taking it and see if the heartburn is better. Anybody else here have that?

Eguller

Typhoon take 2 Aleve every morning to help ward off aches and pains.

That is the first warning on taking Aleve or similar inflammation reducers - gastro problems. If you have frequent
heart burn, something like an acid reducer would be helpful. See what your body tolerates
for the aches and pains. You don't want to hear this but - might want to see a real doctor. 😉

Typhoon I get heartburn frequently.

Food doesn't necessarily have to be spicey to cause heart burn. Baked goods give me heartburn. Maybe quit the fruit pies and other shit you post eating and see if that helps. 😜

You came here for medical advice, so....

If you got aches & pains, and are doing basically the same things every day....work, exercise, etc., you should not be having those aches and pains from it....repetition should build tolerances. And if you are taking the pills 'just in case'....STOP THAT SHIT!!

I used to have frequent heartburn also, from just 'eating'. Hell, I could get it from drinking water!
Then 1 night I almost died from a gall bladder attack....so bad gangrene had set it.
No heartburn since 2001. Maybe a very rare case through those years since. Headaches are the same also now....very rare things.

So, you got 2 reasons now to make the real Dr. app't. 👍

I have acid reflux (heartburn), and yes NSAIDS can cause tummy issues. Best not to take them unless needed (Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, Naproxen, Diclofenac, lots of names for them). They might not be the cause, either. You might just have GERD (acid reflux - Google it).

GO TO THE DAMN DOCTOR! DONT MAKE REX DRIVE OVER THERE(He's closer than me).

Eguller

Rickochet Baked goods give me heartburn.

Yep. High sugar content can do the trick also.
