I care deeply about you T-Bone and it hurts that you pass MU off with a
toss of your crooked arm and a spat from your misaligned teeth.

Really.

LOL

Now where were we. oh yes, you're inability to admit you're wrong by
continually diverting away from the subject matter at hand.

Overconsumption caused the high BP gain as stated by the OP and, of
course, you called me a lair when I agreed.

Sorry, sure didn't mean to uncloak your scam and refocus on your
"alleged" shortcomings since, all in all, you post on topic all the all
time.

Do you really believe your repeating this over and over again does
somehow make this the truth? A sandwich and a serving of beans (the
"huge" meal described by the OP) hardly exceed 2 pounds, so if he
otherwise ate "like a mouse", which he claimed to do, he will be well
under 2 pounds a day. Even according to the sacred teachings of your
guru, this wouldn't be overconsumption then.

> and, of
> course, you called me a lair when I agreed.

No I didn't. I certainly didn't call you a "lair". Nor did I call you a
"liar", what is probably what you meant. I just politely disagreed with
you. But the difference between reasoned argument and name calling is
obviously lost on you.

I never said it was the "truth" T-Bone just that was what was reported
by the OP.

Of course, you knew that since I have consistently said the same thing
for three days now. But you can't help yourself be a duplicious dongle,
can you.

I've dug a fair number of holes in my life (been there, dug that) and
think I recognize when someone else has dug one. Though I don't think
my hard won advice will be accepted (cheerily or otherwise), I'd say
the old saying "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging" probably
applies.

You are obsessed and can't admit that you totally missed the
context. On top of that you can't even complete the quote correctly.

As I said before,your image is one of a self-important ass. When you are
done with that perhaps you will be relaxed enough to re-read the thread
and admit you missed the point entirely. It's way past time for you to
get real.

You are simply a bogus liar and incapable of maintaining coherent
thought for any length of time. You enjoy playing with words and
attempting to obscure the truth with them. You think you are good at
it, but you are not. A squirm is a squirm is a squirm.

I've had enough of tossing you around and you certainly should have had
enough being tossed, but folks like you, with their little Usenet only
lives, must by nature continue to self-crucify themsselves in a most
public way and just have to get the last word in.

So have at it.

When someone has angina pectoris, but only has chest pain during or
after physical activities like climbing stairs, then the angina pectoris
is not caused by "overexertion" but by atherosclerosis. To tell such a
person to deal with the chest pain by avoiding "overexertion" (like
climbing stairs or walking the dog) and otherwise to ignore his
condition because he is just fine when he doesn't move this much would
be very bad advise.

Just a bad as to tell someone who has very high blood pressure after
eating a meal that is normally sized to normal persons that he just
should stop "oversuming" and otherwise ignore his condition.

Be hungrier, which truly is healthier especially for diabetics:

Sort of describes you too.   I bet you cannot even realize that.

New Rule: If your razor has five blades, it's not a razor, it's a
weed-whacker. With the new Gillette Fusion razor, the first blade lifts
the stubble; the second severs the hair follicle; the third slices your

I had a strange ordeal with my blood pressure a couple years ago that
has gotten me on beta blockers.

My blood pressure used to go from normal range of 120/70 up to 190/105
after eating large meals. It would take an hour to three hours for it
to come back down.

After several ER trips (maybe it was anxiety related?) my cardiologist
put me on a few different meds, and finally wound up leaving me just
on the beta blocker alone.

Still to this day I take 50mg of Toprol XL (extended release). I
haven't seen a high reading over 130/85 on this. I'm usually in low-
norm range.

Also the beta blocker helps with an arrhythmia that I have called
PSVT.

Maybe I need to be on a beta blocker, but I am very concerned about T2
diabetes because my father had it.

I brought this topic up with my cardiologist and he told me not to
worry about it. But I have read stuff like this:
http://www.library.nhs.uk/rss/newsAndRssArticle.aspx?uri=http://www.l...

That seems to show concrete evidence that beta blocker may cause or
worsen diabetes in some people.

I'm going to go on a sugar restricted diet anyway. I check my blood
sugar once a month (I have a reader) and my GP also checks my A1C
test, which is so far normal.

I've found the alt.support.diabetes newsgroup to offer better advice
about diabetes than a doctor who was fired from his only job in less
than three months, and has spent years since then posting bad advice
about diabetes to the internet, along with advice unrelated to many
of the newsgroups he crossposts to.

For example, a collection of their better advice:

http://alt-support-diabetes.org/new.php

Another item:  Don't consider avoiding just sugar enough to prevent
diabetes.  Also avoid all easily digestible starches, since they digest
into to same types of sugars as table sugar and about as fast.

You may also need to avoid foods sweetened with fructose - a cheap
sweetener often used in non-diet carbonated drinks, among other
foods, which does not immediately increase your blood glucose but
is a known cause of the insulin resistance that later increased your
blood glucose by causing type 2 diabetes or making it worse.

For some people, just decreasing the amount of salt in your diet,
or substituting a potassium-chloride-based salt substitute, is
enough to reduce their blood pressure.

Not all people agree on which of the potassium-chloride-based
salt substitutes taste good enough to use; I found that, for me,
only those with calcium glutamate included avoided the bitter
taste on most of the other.  McCormick, Schilling's and Kroger
brands.

I doubt if my cardiologist would agree that such high blood
pressures after large meals are normal.

Also note that most of the people who crosspost between
the cardiology newsgroup and any of the diabetes newsgroups
are quickly added to the killfile lists of those on the diabetic
newsgroups - lists they have told their newsreaders to delete
all posts from, and therefore such posts get a lot fewer
answers from them.

This is clearly a likely case of endocrine disorder.  Many ht ER cases
turn out to be undiagnosed and unsuspected aldosteronism, and may be
caused by adrenal and/or pituitary disorder.  There are other endocrine
tumors that can cause such reactions as well, including food induced
Cushing's syndrome.

In any case, you need to be evaluated by a good endocrinologist, though
they are rare as hen's teeth.

Good ones, I mean.
