Hello!
To introduce myself Im a mom of 2 ages 13 & 11 my daughter being oldest , my son youngest. Im 35 yrs. old, happily remarried of 2 yrs. & also a stay at home mom /daycare ,, well in last year I have suffered anxiety, panic attacks to point of avoiding stores ,alot after my divorce alot of changes in my life ,& so I decided to go to Dr. to see if I could get something to help ,but what I learned was not only did I have that ,but also high blood pressure . I was then told I needed to excerise 30 min at least a day , eat healthier & try that for a few week to see if I can get my levels down on my own they were really high & Dr. wanted to see me back in 2 weeks ,but if I couldnt my Dr, wanted to put me on pills to get it down. I never really had to deal with high blood pressure till last year & they told me it can be caused from weight & its also genetic. ,so thats why Im here to find out more about it & to better myself inside & out ,along with making new friends & for support. My goal of what I want in loosing weight is 20 - 30 lbs. & with support, gods help & friends like you Im hoping to make my goal. Thank you teachx for this sight. :)

Hiya run4fun! Welcome :D

I don't know much at all about high blood pressure so I'm sorry I can't help you there but I've got tons of support for you to help you towards your weightloss goals! :D

p.s. I've been taking my mother through the shop when she gets groceries, as she fainted in the supermarket awhile back and she gets quite dizzy at times...not sure if it's high blood pressure or alot of the other things that she has wrong with her...but she is very overweight!

I'm glad you were able to remarry again and be happy and I look forward to seeing your weight drop and for you to be healthy again. :)

Welcome, and good luck! :)

hi and welcome...sorry to hear that your blood pressure is high. certainly weight plays a part since too much weight makes the heart work harder....and genetics also have their honourable mention...
