I wonder what they mean by misuse
Using the hot tub the way Term does. The man is an animal. Serioulsy though, I took it too mean soaking too long or at a very high temp, consuming mass quanities of alcohol.
After owning our hot tub for just over a year now (and lovin' it) my family physician has told me that I need to start taking medication for stage 1 hypertension. Darling wife says I also need to cut back my use of the hot tub as she thinks it is bad for my BP. I use the tub about 5 nights per week for maybe 20-30 minutes per soak, is that really too much usage or is the wife being too cautious?
Thanks everyone for all the advice! Well I just picked up my meds at the pharmacy last night on the way home fom work, 10mg of Lisinopril, 1 pill per day. I am scheduled to meet with the doc next Tuesday to see how well the meds are working and when I do I will discuss these issues with her.Just for clarification, I'm usually a water drinker when in the hot tub but will sometimes have ONE beer, usually after a round of golf and just wanting to relax. Water temps are normally kept at 102 and in the summer we drop it down to maybe 98-99. I am well aware of the diet and exercise necessity although I'll be the first to admit that I shudder at the thought of both. Since my first meeting with the doctor on the 9th I have made a conscious effort to improve in both aspects and my darling wife is acting as my "coach" with gentle and not so gentle reminders on a regular basis.Thanks again all.
