@sjm46 Thanks so much. This really helps. Yes, I can feel the stress rising every time I get ready to sit still and take the pressure. I will look for the YouTube video.
Since I have this new doctor, she has sent me to a cancer doctor over my platelets. He cided me, and I told him to cide her. I have constant blood work.
I have actually lost 7 pounds since this all started. I exercise (on a treadmill) almost every day, and I watch my sodium intake, which is difficult and tasteless.
I am concerned she thinks older adults are always on the verge of death.

Yes, you are so right! Every visit a new diagnosis! Had a bone scan that showed mild osteopenia! This is not even a real condition! 70% of people over 70 have some osteopenia! So young PCP messages me immediately with wanting to put me on a bone building drug! First of all, those drugs don't necessarily work, have lots of bad side effects and are not the first way to treat any form of bone loss! Like you, I exercise, eat right and take some calcium supplements. I just increased my calcium intake after some research online and I told her No to any drugs (probably promoted by Big Pharma!) So just try to stay calm (OHMM) that's what my husband and I do when we sit down each morning to compare B/P readings! LOL. Good luck and keep smiling! 😁
