Nothing like a come to Jesus meeting with your Doctor
Himself took the bull by the horns and forced me to see the Doctor today this included going into the room with me to as he put it "tell on me".
The ringing in my ears and the headaches - Blood pressure around 165/96
Abdominal pain - gastritis
Now I'm going to be on blood pressure medication and prilosec until this gets under control. No beer,wine or caffeine. The whole drill - healthy meals with exercise.
The physician has seen fit that I get a whole slew of tests from chest x-rays to ultrasounds. Good news!!! my EKG was normal. So no feasts for me - I'll be brown bagging my food. This extends to a wedding rehearsal dinner which will include me skipping as the food has already been chosen for us. Now I know how people who are getting over drinking problems feel when they finally get "it" - you avoid the old pitfalls until you've built up the right habits to make better choices. Seems I've been very self indulgent for a long time. I told himself he is not off the hook we are eating healthy together and he has gifted me this Christmas with a personal trainer three times a week for however long getting healthy takes.
It will be nice to not hear ringing in my ears anymore and not feel like my head is going to pop off and roll around on the floor. I will be wearing a sign that says please don't feed me. Good thing I've developed a taste for Fiji water and wasa bread.
