I'm M21 SW 404 CW 270. I was at the doctor earlier today and I'm just sick of this guy, it's like he has 0 hope in me. 8 months ago before I started my weight loss journey I was in the worst health state I had ever been. Pre diabetic, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, 180/120 blood pressure. Really bad. Back then he wanted to put me on statins and I turned them down. Im against medications for the most part, I think medications can be beneficial but I think if the problem can be solved without them you should at least give it a chance.
Well today I went in to get checked out again since my doctor wanted me to come in every few months to see my progress. I am no longer pre-diabetic, my cholesterol is perfect (HDL:43 LDL:92) my triglycerides are super low at 48 and my blood pressure (still needs work) was 139/90. By all means I have made INCREDIBLE health gains. Yet my doctor absolutely insists on getting on statins... is what I've done not good enough? My blood pressure is still elevated, but im out of the danger zone. If I can lose the 50 more pounds I want to lose I'm sure I'll be at a normal level. Does this guy just want to push meds? And he was just talking down to me the whole time "I am incredibly worried about your health" (his exact words btw) "your blood pressure is still at worrying levels."
Idk just pissed me off, kinda venting.
