116m people in the US have hypertension. Being fat is one of the leading causes of hypertension. Another big one? Getting older. Diet and exercise can't help with that. Listen to your HCP and take your meds as needed.
"A Pinellas County, Florida medical examiner’s report indicates that
Fame star
Irene Cara’s official cause of death was
Arteriosclerotic and Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease. In layperson’s terms, she had a hardening of the arteries and stress on her heart as a result of high blood pressure."
63 is not old. Again, you are pushing meds for a condition that was more than likely caused by poor diet and lack of exercise. I had a HCP who kept threatening me with statins. Not once were questions asked about diet or exercise. I dumped that HCP.
Well, for once, a medical group has something in the correct order:
"The AHA
says high blood pressure, anything above 130, is managed through careful monitoring by a doctor
and lifestyle changes. These changes include eating well, limiting alcohol intake, regular physical activity, quitting smoking, stress management, maintaining a healthy weight, and taking medications correctly if necessary."
Medications are listed last. Unfortunately, many HCPs got to medications first.
Diet and exercise.
And this about her death:
“She was a recluse. She didn’t talk to anyone,” Roseann Nolan, who lived across the street from Cara, told The Post. “I didn’t even know it was her living there until a few years ago. It was the best-kept secret ever.”
“I’d text her or call her to invite her to come for a walk but I wouldn’t hear back for days,” Contreras told The Post. “And she’d never call back using her cellphone. She called from her computer because she was worried about privacy. She didn’t look well and she said she had health issues.”
Cara went from singing about “Fame” and wanting people to remember her name to living a lonely, reclusive life in Florida, desperate for privacy.
