I would like to put in my 2 cents regarding the blood pressure meds; my dad had quintuple bypass surgery last fall, and of course was put on meds to keep his blood pressure low afterwards. After several months of him feeling, as he put it, "tired, tired, tired!", having dizzy spells and actually stumbling and falling several times, the cardiologist stopped his blood pressure meds. Low and behold, he improved almost immediately and now has perfect blood pressure. Again, just my 2 cents to illustrate that we are sometimes "over-medicated".
Lyn, I think Sandy's suggestion is a good one, take a list of all your medications to your doctor and go over them one by one. Make sure Ron or someone is there to take notes!
