Hi Millerdust, welcome. I think you might appreciate the discussions in the Aging Well group and encourge you to follow the group here:

Your question about losing strength and stamina is being talked about in this discussion to which I moved your post:

Can you explain a bit more? What type of exercise do you do? Do you have any health conditions that might explain the loss of strength and stamina?

I have no other health issues. Exercise: rowing, walking (slowly). Balance is off.

I row and swim and used to hike a lot, but my legs feel tired at the start of a walk, and I don't feel like going far. My stamina is way down from what it used to be. Now 82 generally good health. Don't see physician until mid-October. Last time visit blood pressure higher than used to be.
