Still hanging in. My hubby has joined me in "the" diet. He was recently diagnosed with sleep apena and doc wants him to lose at least 30lbs. He is doing great, not even sneaking cookies at night like he used to. He eats a little more at meals than I do but he weighs about 100lbs more than me

I've forgotten all about this thread. I noticed you had the last post. Can't allow that! :rolleyes:

I know several people with sleep apnea, and all have a weight problem. I have also read that sleep apnea and insulin resistance can be related problems.

Now that hubby has been on "the" diet, has he seen any improvement in his sleep apnea, or in how he feels?

[QUOTE]My BP is doing great with 50% less atenolol. My cardiologist is very pleased.
I am seeing numbers from 118/64 to 130/70.

What other meds are you on besides the Avapro?

I had to stop taking the Avapro. It was giving me increased heart rhythm problems and increased chest pains at night. Since I stopped taking it, I no longer suffer from the increased heart rhythm problems and increased chest pains.

I am on verapamil (ccb) and accupril (acei). I also use a nitro under my tongue when I want to get a sudden increase in blood pressure down fast.

Ahhhhhh! It feels good having the last word. :D :wave:
