Hello Everyone,
First I would like to introduce myself and second my Problem:
I am 50 years old healthy with healthy life style (seems to me till yesterday). I am a single father of 11 year old daughter.
I use to smoke but since one year I switch to ecig.
My father passed away due to heart attach (reason might be stress – guessing) when I was 12 years old and I don’t know what was his age at that time may be 50+. The reason for mentioning this so that you all will know about a bit of my family history.
Problem:
Because my father passed away due to heart attack and I will be 50 next year so decided to go to my local surgery for health check-up. Till now no medication or went to see the doctor for any reason what so ever.
They took blood samples, blood pressure test and height and weight. In the evening I got a call to come today and see the doctor this time.
Went and saw – he declared I am diabetic type 2 (27 reading he said), cholesterol too high and blood pressure also high (did not give the reading for these two neither I asked, I was in a shock mode.
Explained me in detail after asking me few personal question including my family history.
He prescribed me:
Lipitor 80mg for Cholesterol one a day
Metformin 500mg one a day for a week then two a day.
And made an appointment for second round talk and explanation next week.
They took another sample today and blood pressure, also they took urine sample.
My life style and diet:
Very balance use to do exercise regularly but since last 3 year did not go to gym due to looking after my daughter.
My diet:
Weekdays–
4 boiled egg only the White one before I go to work in breakfast
2 bananas and an apple in regular interval at work.
Salad – mix of celery, lettuce, salad tomatoes, radish cucumber with two boiled egg only white – Lunch
Tea and coffee also Green tea – in between with half spoon sugar.
200g white rice – dinner
Chicken or lamb curry – with rice
Then green tea – before go to bed.
Weekends:
Almost same but sometimes I treat myself – I make my own beef or lamb burger with cheese and mayonnaise for lunch and for dinner rice and curry.
Question:
Going by the medication – How serious my health is.
Going by the life style where did I go wrong – may be inherited.
If serious or not serious – what should I do to maintain my health so that I can look after my daughter.
I have gone through various thread and read lot if info from various people including @daisy1, and @poppyducky
With no health issue what so ever this information seems exploding my mind and at the moment its 5:54 am and could not sleep whole night.
I do apologize if I have written two long. Any more info you all need please let me know.
