We all have some bit of insight into our own intellectual
deterioration as we get older. Intellectual and physical.
IF we make it to threescore and ten years of age (all we are
scripturally promised), most of us are going to “slow down”.
I turned 70 in July of this year. Suddenly, my blood
pressure drugs have started making me dizzy. Yesterday,
Fang and I drove into town to church. I made it to the foot
of the steep concrete steps & the dizziness really set in.
We just had to get back to the car and head back home.
The only other way in the church is a tiny elevator that is
about worn out from just about ALL the large congregation
riding up on it.
Well, answer is that you keep on keeping on and continue
to try and do what you can do and let the rest of it go.
I don’t drive any more because of the dizziness. I did
allow myself to get diverted to a liberal site that
worships themselves first and the Democrat party second.
Small number of self-important “anonymouses” on it that
get their jollies out of insulting “Freepers” and how
“old” and “stupid” we are.
What they don’t understand is that I, too, was only
forty years old just yesterday. They cannot imagine a
day in the future when they, too, will be seventy if
they are lucky.
Why don’t you try taking less of your BP Med in order to not be so dizzy? Or maybe there is a lifestyle or diet change that you could use instead of the med? The docs pass out medicines like candy but it doesn’t always have a relationship to your actual functional health. I hope you find a solution.
I haven't hit 70 yet (I'm not too far behind you), but I've found it very important to communicate any adverse symptoms I'm experiencing to my physicians. There are many different types of BP medicines out there, and new ones come regularly (ObamaCare strains on research & development notwithstanding).
Maybe let your doc know about the dizziness? Hopefully he or she can prescribe something different.
