Youre unfit to exercise My GP told me this just this morning -true story! I celebrated my doing a 4.5 mile run in 45mins - I told him I have ran 16 out of the last 19 days and how despite what his blood pressure machine may say I am healthier than him. He responded by doubling my blood pressure meds and telling me to come back next week - I responded by putting my trainers on and taking it out on the road! Let me make something clear. Im not by any stretch saying GPs dont give solid advice nor am I saying you should do the same if youve been advised not to do something. My issue is theres advice like this being given out and medicine being prescribed at the drop of a hat. As a nation were told to exercise - yet if you have an issue your told to stop (and thereby creating worse/ more issues!). The problem is guidelines are based around the national average person and not around the individual - tell me which of you is average because I know Im not! Sometimes you just need to listen to your own body & not to medical advise!
