Lots of stuff

So Im now 54, I have some arterial plaque, I have bout with hypertensive crisis where my blood pressure shoots up to 170 over 107 and heart rate jumps to 130-140. Its real fun waking fro ma sleep t have that going on. I have just been given a script for a heart ultrasound, stress tests and a scan of my aorta. Im scared to stay of TRT, I drink smoothies of sinach blueberries kale and whatever else greens of the day. Getting older and having these issues is scaring m, I wont lie. I am recovering from a bad motorcycle wreck and my right hand will never be the same. Pretty damn low these days~

I hope you can get it all under control. Wondering how much of it is stress. I'm a couple years ahead of you. Hang in there. Keep fighting the fight. Every day it's you against the chaos. You and me.

It's good your getting tests done, then form a game plan with your doctor as to where to go from there.

It sucks getting old doesn't it?

You're one of the three youngest 50-something men I know. I little setback here and there. Maybe God wants you to slow down a bit. He doesn't suggest you lie down in green pastures he maketh.

You've come a long way. Everything will be ok. Unless you phuck it up. Then it probably still will be ok.

Can you still have sex? If so you're not that bad yet.

Stress is very bad for us. And I agree with you, getting old sucks. And getting older sucks even more, believe me

I am going to be 54 myself in a few weeks and I am also starting to feel the aging right now, but I still keep training as well as cycling. Gotta stay in shape or I will fall apart!

GTFOH...you're 54 MW?! Wow dude you seem a lot younger. Good work beating father time lol
For the 1st time ever I'm getting nervous about aging. Turned 50 in Nov. My bp has ALWAYS been and still is just right or on the low side, my cholesterol levels, regular blood work were always on point. Now my last test shows elevated cholesterol of 217 and triglyceride of 144...not bad but not good either.
I wish I knew how to read this entire list of tests but the dr said everything was exactly right except the last two.

Are you full on Vegan ?
Campbell soup has this Yes soup . If you check there is 3 or 4 that is Vegan .Not to bad tasting. You can build muscle without meat and eggs .
Stress is like vise squeezing the life out of you . I have yet to figure out a way to manage it . Have you had a sleep study for Sleep Apnea ? That will absolutely effect everything .
Keep positive and make small adjustments .

Same here at 54. Although I will say I don't eat red meat 4-5 times ew like when younger. Prolly 1-2x ew now. Could be bcoz when I was younger, ground turkey wasn't so available. I like ground turkey, so eat alot of it.

[liftsiron]

I like ground turkey breast to.

I would talk to your doc about changing your meds. I went thru the same stuff last year. My BP was OK but any stress would make it go sky high. It took a few different meds but now it stays perfect. I'm 50 and he is OK with my TRT. I made some dietary changes as well but the meds made all the difference.
