That is why other countries are not advising those under 50 to take the vaccine. The risk out weighs the reward.There seems to be more and more claims of heart damage from the mRNA vaccines coming forward.
Time will tell.
I agree, we had 2 men in our home team and one neighbor who died very young in a 14 month time frame a decade ago.Part of the problem with really figuring out if the vaccines are actually causing heart issues is that every time someone under 60 dies due to what appears could be a heart issue or if the cause of death isn't provided, many folks are attributing those deaths to the vaccine without any proof. It's not like people under 60, including many athletes, didn't die of cardiac arrest before COVID. Also, COVID itself is known to cause heart issues.
Hopefully we'll eventually get to the truth and know if the vaccines are causing issues or not.
However, I think what we are seeing in very young athletes is different, and we know, and they have admitted that young men suffer pericarditis. Why would you take the risk of pericarditis for your kids? For a virus kids have almost no risk?
You're getting to that age, and like many of us, could stand to lose a few. I've been on a BP meds for 3-4 years now. BP was always great when I was ripped, but has definitely gone up with my waistline.I had a physical today with my new Dr since my former recently retired. My b/p was 160 / 99 with a 91 pulse, never been that high that I know of. After the physical they rechecked, it was 138 a 96 with a 88 pulse, still high. I got home and retook it here, it was 144 / 98 and 90 pulse. Not sure why it’s elevated but definitely has me concerned. I went to church after work and set table, chairs, and sound equipment up for tomorrow night’s gospel jam. I rechecked when I got home, it was 135 / 85 with an 82 pulse so getting back close to where it normally is, which is the high end of “normal”.
I’m holding out as long as I can but I also don’t want to fall victim to a stroke or heart attack. Gonna monitor it closely for the next few days. That may help explain the nagging headaches I’ve have most of the week. Other than that I feel great.You're getting to that age, and like many of us, could stand to lose a few.

When the lower number approaches 100, it's potentially serious. Mine runs high, but mostly on the top number.I’m holding out as long as I can but I also don’t want to fall victim to a stroke or heart attack. Gonna monitor it closely for the next few days.

Oh it got my attention.When the lower number approaches 100, it's potentially serious. Mine runs high, but mostly on the top number.
Keep your eye on that.
You might want to get a referral to see a cardiologist who would most likely do an EKG in the office and then send you to have a CT scan on your heart to look for blockages.I had a physical today with my new Dr since my former recently retired.

It was 135 / 85 and 82 pulse before bed last night and 116 / 82 with 77 pulse this morning. Not sure why it was elevated yesterday, but i did have a nagging headache. I'm going to monitor my diet closely for the next week or so, I have to get bloodwork done for my physical next week since I wasn't fasting yesterday. Based on those results I'll discuss options with my doctor.You might want to get a referral to see a cardiologist who would most likely do an EKG in the office and then send you to have a CT scan on your heart to look for blockages.
The headaches may have something to do with an ailment or nervous tension, which may cause the blood pressure to elevate. Keep a check on the pressure and what's going on around you, but since it went down by the morning, I'd guess the high pressure was pain related and not a serious problem. One of the things that causes high pressure is fluid retention, like after eating a meal with a lot of sodium in it. watch what you eat and how much you drink for a while and see if that affects your pressure. Remember that bout with heat stroke? Problems with fluid retention may still be a result of that,,, tell the doctor.It was 135 / 85 and 82 pulse before bed last night and 116 / 82 with 77 pulse this morning.

I'm thinking it related to getting over the flu and the crud that I got on Christmas day (Happy Birthday Jesus), still have gunk in my head. It was back up at lunch to 153 / 89 & 71 pulse, granted I had been up walking and standing but still up. We never add salt to any dishes, only what comes with the food we prepare. I rarely drink anymore, it's normally a pot of black coffee in the morning followed by water the rest of the day. A glass of Carbmaster ultra-filtered non-fat milk or maybe a root beer or gingerale for soda but not even weekly for those. I'm type 2 diabetic and lately there's been a lot of oatmeal cookies and other goodies from the holidays. I'm sure my A1C is up which would affect my triglycerides, which would in turn affect my b/p. Gotta get off the cookies and get over the crud.The headaches may have something to do with an ailment or nervous tension, which may cause the blood pressure to elevate.
