I'm a Reservist and Contractor so I have to go every year. I'm also a Vet so I have a VA doctor here in Atlanta. My doctor is actually based out of Covington so I have to make that drive.
Had my PHA two weeks ago. I saw my doctor 6 months ago.
I have high blood pressure. I would say it's genetic because my whole family has it. We are all thin people, but I understand my diet plays a factor.
Some people don't believe in statins. I get it. It sucks that information and misinformation is out there. I'm on 5MGs and I will continue to take it. I do need to do my "research" to see if statins are good for you outside of lowering your cholesterol.
No history of heart attacks in my family. All four of my grandparents made it to 90.
Still I need to do what I can to stay on this earth as long as possible for my Wife and kids.
