    Hi Cheryl, a big "Happy Birthday" to Mike (sorry, i'm a bit late to the party to congratulate him). Hope you both had a great time celebrating and he enjoyed his fish n chip supper, yum 😋. I'm sure you will get your weight back under control soon. You always look lovely anyway ❤. Fingers crossed 🤞 you'll get a buyer soon. All good things come to those who wait, isn't that the saying 😊. Have a great week all of you. Look forward to the next vlog. Take care ❤😊xxx

    Happy Birthday Mike enjoy your day . Take care Cheryl , stress is a big impacter on BP .and what is the one most stressful thing to do move house . After saying that I have BP problems , and I would move back to the coast in a flash that’s for sure , just take things easy try not to stress, just try to chill , things will happen and stressing doesn’t help in any way.

    I think you are right Cheryl. The warmer and sunnier days will help sell your apartment. One look at the sea views from your living room will be enough to persuade someone to buy.
    Your Bp is slightly elevated but not overly concerning. I think you are more stressed than what you would usually be with the house hunting and selling so that is completely understandable. Hopefully it will settle down once you find the perfect place. I'm so glad that you decided on not taking on a huge project property.
    Happy birthday mike and I hope you had a wonderful day.

    Hi Cheryl .so glad you've both decided on not getting a massive project bungalow . Something will come along that's perfect for you both ,it is out there waiting for you.
    A old medical consultant use to say the acceptable top number for your blood pressure (systolic) is 100 plus your age ,and the lower number below 90
    So your looking fab at 42 .😊
    Don't be to concerned if your feeling good and no other symptoms . Moving is very stressful
    Have a great birthday Mike . Enjoy your feast 🎉

    Happy 65th Mike! same age as my hubby. I would choose good ol fish n chips too 😊 love ‘em! Stress will definitely raise your blood pressure. I’ve just recently gone onto BP meds as mine was consistently high. 140 is mild hypertension but keep a close watch on it and take it a few times throughout the day. Also don’t eat overly salty food. Here in Australia single level houses are the norm. You should move down under here 😁 fingers crossed you get a buyer soon. All the very best 🌸

    • @cheryllifeat50
      @cheryllifeat50  8 місяців тому

      Hi Vintage Sue - thank you! ❤️ Salty food is definitely a problem - I eat a lot of ready meals full of salt and sugar, I really need to sort my eating habits out. I would love Australian weather and housing but I'm petrified of crawlies, spiders and snakes etc. 😬😂. Thank you so much for Birthday wishes ❤️❤️

    On the blood pressure front the top reading is called the systolic reading and measures the pressure of the blood on the vessels when the heart beats and the lower reading is the diastolic which measures the pressure of the blood on the vessels when the heart is at rest. Although blood pressure differs in everyone due to factors like age, weight ,fitness ,stress etc on average the top reading (systolic)should preferably be below 130 and the bottom reading (diastolic) should preferably be below 80. record your BP regularly at different times of day and inform your Gp of the results in case you do need medication. Hope I haven’t boarded you witless with this comment (the ramblings of a nurse of 34 years) 😂😂. Hope you manage to sell your apartment soon 😊❤xx

      Thank you so much, not boring at all xxx, great to have advice from someone who knows their stuff, theres a lot of differing info online, googling stuff can send you bonkers. I'm taking ibuprofen through the day at the moment as Ive managed to do something to my neck which I think (again according to google) 😂can make your BP elevate so I haven't tested again this week. But I will certainly take your advice and record regularly throughout the day when I'm off the pain tablets. Blimey 34 years! Thats one heck of a career. Thank you for looking after us all. ❤️❤️❤️ xxxx

    Haven't watched you until today but just wondered if you had come across the UA-cam channel 'Moving Home with Charlie'. He gives lots of bang up to date advice on the property scene. It's a tricky time. If you find a buyer who doesn't need a mortgage I'd snap them up - mortgage surveyors are regularly downvaluing at the moment which can be very frustrating! Good luck.

    A very Happy belated Bithday wish for Mike. I am on blood pressure tabs and I bought a blood pressure machine. Dont understand the numbers either. My partner eats all the wrong stuff and his blood pressure is fine. He doesnt drink or smoke so I suppose thats good . Im trying to do low carb and no sugar , very hard. My son was visiting and I went off my diet a bit ! Anyway, Im back on it, trying anyway but still having a wine at te weekend !! My son is in a Rock Band and plays guitar too. He loves his music . Hearing you mention your son loves his music, I undersand that. I hope he gets to travel and enjoys it. x

      H there lovely, bet you are having better weather than us! We had a couple of 'ok' days and that might be it for UK Summer now 😂 I thought GP might put me on BP tablets but she doesnt seem too worried yet which is good. Wine is my downfall, I just love a big glass of wine at the end of the day but it ruins my diet and my fasting, wine leads to snacks and late suppers 😬I should just stick to wine at weekend like you. Great to hear about your son 😊😍 xxxx

    Im sure someone will buy your apartment soon. When we moved i found the waiting for an offer the on ours the worst part. You just don't know who or when. Your just in limbo. Once you accept an offer you can move to the next step. You have something to aim for. You're not on pins waiting for the next viewer.
    As for taking your blood presure. Take it on bare skin not over clothing. Don't talk while taking it. Put some cushions under your arm so your arm is level with your heart. Don't cross your legs. Be rested for about a good 5/10 mins before taking it. Don't eat or drink while taking it. All things ive been told as ive got to take mine 2/3 times a day at moment for the gp. Good luck with everything and a very happy birthday to Mike

      Only reason he will retire really is if his tremor gets so bad he can't use his laptop. On waiting list for brain surgery implants so he can come off a load of meds which are what make him so tired all the time. His bloods not good though so they wont operate until hes fit enough, go round in circles really 🫤❤️

    This info was given me by my Heart Consultant, you have to sit quietly prior to taking your readings, do not talk or move while doing it, put your arm on a pillow. He said you have to take three readings, three minutes apart, the third reading is the correct reading and the only one he was interested in. Hope this helps you.
