Average weight 197.2
Average Blood Pressure & Pulse 142-92-66 These are all high. The pulse just shows that I'm out of
] shape as can be seen by my aerobic exercise. I brought the BP readings to the attention of my
oncologist and he wasn't overly concerned. He said slight elevations are expected with the
medications I am on. He said I could share the numbers with my regular doctor, which I said
I'd do since I have an appointment for annual physical coming up. He must have shared them
because I got a call from her and she suggested going on a low dose of BP meds (she's been
suggesting that for ten years). I will go on 2.5 mg daily and will start May 1st.
Of my prescribed meds, I have yet to miss a dose of Abiraterone or Prednisone or my calcium and
vitamin D3. Tamsulosin goes back to my urologist before the prostate cancer diagnosis and
since treatment, I feel I need it only every 3 or 4 days. In April I took one every 4th day.
I biked 14.5 miles in April (horrible) and I counted 1 hour of shoveling and hauling hod (wood chips)
for the community garden as a 3-mi hike. Believe me, it was.
I have been estimating my energy level each day. 5 is kind of normal and stands for 1/2 of what I
typically would be without all these meds and low testosterone. A 4 is a bit lower, lethargic
but able to do something. A 3 means I'd really rather just stay in bed all day. A 2 means I
have to stay in bed. A 1 would mean hospitalized or under care. A 6 means that I felt some
energy and could do a vigorous project or aerobic exercise. My average for April was 4.6
Alcohol beverage was 1.1 per day.
