You KNOW that Bubba's on here...

[NWoBHM]

I am 48 felt fine. Went to see the Doc recently about nothing in particular, he decides to check my blood pressure - it was 156/94 He reads me the riot act about losing weight, reducing alcohol intake, going to gym, no salt in diet, cholesterol check, Liver function, Kidney function, a full wellbeing test.
All ok now - BP down to 144/84 and 8lbs lost in 6 weeks, cholesterol "normal" etc Kidney and Liver working perfectly - (that was a pleasant surprise)
Mentioned it to a mate - exactly the same age as me - exactly the same he went to see the Doc, Doc took his blood pressure, but would not let my mate leave the practice until he was taking beta blockers, which he will now be on for the rest of his life. Mentioned it to another mate, who`s cousin, aged 44 had just had a heart attack!!
Not good.
So I run, Nordic Walk, Cycle and row for an hour at the Gym, once a week, and have gone back to playing acoustic drums, well Boom Theory acoustic e-drums with a DW Red Sparkle wrap - they look and feel like real drums, but are hooked up to the TD20 Module, and from there into the Pro Tools rig I have. (I have been playing a TD20 KW for the past 3 years, and ddrum 4se for 5 years before that) and amazing as those kits are, you are not expending the same energy playing them. At least with the Boom Theory I come in from the Studio drenched in sweat and feeling I have had a great work out, without making too much noise while the kids do their homework etc
