[USER=12]@wildbirdy[/USER] I always enjoy seeing your posts about your cabin on FB. It looks like a real retreat. I'm sorry getting to it can be so stressful at times. Sounds like yous had a trip from hell the last time around. Let's hope that doesn't happen again. Don't let me find out you're skipping your BP meds on a regular basis, Missy. We'll have to talk to about this! I'm on BP meds myself. It just so happened the last time I went to my doctor I had woke up late and I took my morning and afternoon BP med at the same time. By the time I got to the doc's office and they took my BP it was 136/98. My doc says "Wow Dan that's the best reading I've ever gotten from you." So I explained that I took the beta blocker and ACE inhibitor at the same time. She rewrote my prescription so I take the ACE inhibitor twice a day instead of just once. So far, according to my home cuff it's a little bit lower but still not where we needs it to be. If it doesn't fall in line I'll have to make an earlier appointment than scheduled.As for stress buster my best 2 things are:If it's a person who is stressing me out. I pray for them. Now don't get me wrong I'm not some religious nut or anything but it does work for me. It's very hard to be stressed out/aggravated/mad at a person while you're saying a prayer for them. One of my middle school teachers taught my that when I was all stressed out over some kid busting my chops.Long walks. Part of the reason I like to walk alone is sometimes I'll walk down a back country road, take my ear phones out, and just listen to nature while I'm walking. I find it very relaxing.I'm also on medication for anxiety but I've been on the same dose almost a year now and I think my body has acclimated to it because it doesn't help as much as it did at first. I find if I take an extra one I'll really kind of cranky and honery so I backed away from that. I'll see what my doctor says about changing things next time around.
