Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
About two weeks ago, I started coming down with a serious case of food poisoning.
I was bedridden for almost a week, with awful nausea and diarrhea.
Those two symptoms have passed. However, ever since I've been able to walk again, my chest--not my heart, my chest--has felt very weak, and my stamina is nowhere near what it once was.
I think I came very close to a heart attack today, after some yard work.
What do I really do/take to recover from this and lower my blood pressure, no cabal pseudoscience? For that matter, since we've apparently been lied to by the cabal about the necessity of cholesterol, what is the TRUE ideal blood pressure?
Before you say "lose weight," I'm already doing that. I've cut down on a ton of things, and have lost about 15 pounds so far. That started before the food poisoning incident.
Family is insisting I take something called metoprolol and losartan. I'm skeptical, hence me asking you.
Olive leaf extract. Get it in capsules at NDC, or Richard's, etc.
