Herrumph! First posting on this forum - never had the need to before. However, had my annual aviation medical today and all went swimmingly until we got to the blood pressure part of it. Was high and wouldn't come down so the doc put the medical into hibernation until I've got it sorted. Going to see my GP on Friday but in the meantime what is your advice for getting the pressure down?
Allan907 Factsheet: 182cm, 95kg, age 59, moderate exercise (walk 2 golden retrievers 3 times a day and cycle when I'm down in Cottesloe a coupla days a week), diet could be better - like butter and naughty things like the occasional McD, current stress levels probably high due to nasty divorce/separation, like a glass or 2 or red wine each evening and maybe a scotch.
Any advice gratefully received 'cos I don't want to lose my PPL - I worked too hard for it to lose it now.
