Premium Member phyciocc Posted October 23, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hello everyone: About 6 months ago, my blood pressure became too high to ignore. On May 15 I started taking medication. Soon after I started feeling woozy for hours at the time. Getting on a bike was out of the question. But slowly, oh ever so slowly, things got better. My pressure is well controlled, I feel better, lost a little weight and I am not woozy anymore. So today, after a 5 month hiatus, I got back on my red beast. At first it felt as if I had never ridden a bike before but slowly (and 60 miles later) things came back. It was a nice two hour ride in the Kentucky countryside. Being Sunday afternoon, though, Sunday drivers were out in force. I saw an overturned minivan on a 1 lane road (looked like he put wheels in the ditch and flipped). All of Garrard country finest (probably all 8 of them , including firefighters and EMS personnel) were there. Once back in town, saw another crash (in this one a car rear-ended another that was making a right turn). The hit must have been fairly hard, as stretchers were out. This one looked serious, actually. Hope everyone was fine. But I survived the encounters, and felt no wooziness. I am back😎! Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Ahhh, there you are! Wondered where you've been. I hope you keep the blood pressure under control, especially while trying to balance on two wheels. I bet you felt giddy as hell getting back in the saddle and actually riding again. I would've been. Stay frosty and upright! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1limited Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Personally I found my pressure was related to the foods I ate. I eat no proccessed foods PERDIO, no breads, my diet really is based now on paleo. Glad your back, ride on “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
