Lionshare,
I haven't had it checked in years, last time it was checked it was normal, but that was 5-6 years ago. And as for my PT I run 3-4 times a week and do Crossfit/free weights 3-4 times a week and ruck 2 times a week.

Sdiver,
The coughing fits where from bronchitis, and as of last Monday I have been on amoxicillin and the coughing fits are gone.

NurseTim,
I picked up the DASH diet book last Tuesday and have been applying it to my meals and sodium intake, also I just got back from Drill and will be Googling square breathing ASAP.

JJ_BPK,
I have read and am heeding your advice 100%, and Thank you very much for the prayers.

x SF med,

I have a beautiful German Shepard that loves to play, so I'm good to go on that front.

DocIllinois,

I have an appointment set for Tuesday to do a physical, so I have the numbers to show a dietitian and get a plan of attack.

Also, here is my BP readings for 5 days starting last Tuesday and ending Saturday
159/98, 142/86, 148/90, 144/81, 143/84

And one last thing, as for being put on medication to control this that's not an option, I am in the hiring process for the DOE and I can't be on meds. This is just going to have to be fixed by strength and determination or nothing at all.

ETA: Yes I was a full time smoker back in the day and stopped in 07, but I smoke when I have family over for dinner and drinks, and that's about once every two months on average.
