I feel like I take too many medications, but my doctor says that they\u2019re doing what they\u2019re supposed to be doing even if I can\u2019t tell. He has me do at least a couple of blood tests a year to make sure that all of my medical issues are on track. They\u2019re not on track if I forget to take my meds.
\nHe says that taking my medications regularly is the first important step in achieving my goals for being healthy. I asked him about working out in order to achieve my goals. He says that would like to see that, but that the first step is to\u00a0 take my medications regularly.<\/p>\n
\nI have high blood pressure<\/a>, high cholesterol<\/a>, diabetes<\/a> and even sometimes Asthma<\/a>. I usually feel great, but there are times when I don\u2019t . I want to feel great all of the time. As much as he wants me to work out, he says I need to improve my diet and always remember to take my medications in order to get into a workout routine. He doesn\u2019t want to see me cause more complications for myself. by going to the gym prematurely. He said that I should start with some moderate walking first, and to take my meds. My Doctor says that having Diabetes doubles my chances of having a heart attack so he wants me to be cautious.<\/p>\n \nThe issue for me is to be able to remember which medications I need to take and when. If they were all at the same time it would be easier to remember, but still, sometimes I forget to just take my first thing in the morning pills. I just forget. I get a phone call or I see something on the TV and I just get distracted. I even have a system where I turn over the bottles when I take my pills so that I know that I\u2019ve taken them. The problem is that I just forget to take them altogether. It doesn\u2019t matter that I didn\u2019t turn the bottle upside down if I forget to take the medication. That only serves to tell me that I forgot. And when that happens it\u2019s not only one pill but also several and then I\u2019m way off cycle on a bunch of my medical issues. That\u2019s when my doctor says it could become dangerous for me to be working out too hard. He doesn\u2019t want me to have a heart attack.
