Health Check ?

[Cyberman]

Has anybody here had a health check recently? I must admit I am one of those people that ignores problems until they hit me in the face. I try to do exercise fairly regularly, play five-a-sides once a week(when not injured!!), and drink very moderately, but admittedly I succumb to kebabs, pizzas etc. occasionally.

As I had bad chest pains a couple of weeks back on successive days I decided to go to the doctors where I had a blood pressure check and blood test. I got the results of the blood test yesterday and it was a 'wake-up' call as far as I am concerned.


Cholesterol is 7.0...... normal should be between 3 and 5

Triglycerides are 3.8 ............ normal should be about 1.8

Blood Pressure was 160 over 110 and should be 120 over about 90

My weight was 15 stone but I have been on a self-induced diet for the past couple of weeks.


Anybody else due a wake-up call ?

Sounds like the self-induced diet has been long over due.

I would say "at least you have your health", but it appears you don't.

Stick to the diet and these levels should drop.

Good grief, lucky you had that check up - one jolt and you might have detonated like a bomb !

Go to the Gym, the Spa if you can afford it, and exercise - 1 hour at a time 3 times a week.

I spend far too much time on here.

Mind you, the doctor said that for a bloke in his 50's, I have the fingers of a twenty year old Olympic athlete
