flask Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Had the Rift for nigh on two years + without any problems, Early this year started to get very bad headaches/Migraine, went from occasional to twenty four seven, eventually by mid February I could not use the sim without getting really bad eye watering Migraines, tried every setting I could think off, no joy, so eventually ended up at the Doctors, I have since found out it was ( and is) due to my high blood pressure, seems turning sixty comes with hidden costs, so why I am posting this ? it to maybe help someone else that experiencing headaches and is putting it down to the Equipment/settings VR Headache my Cure: VR and getting builders in to renovate is a no no. Eject your self from the server if any Idiots start to mess with you, do not attempt to imagine yourself strangling the offender. Seriously if you are a Drain circler like me Do not ignore the signs and think its the VR to blame. Fortunately I am not in the once a day Blood pressure tablet for life bracket that means if like me I would rather adjust my life style that be taking prescribed Migraine tablets you need to limit your flight time and stress exposure. Footnote: I do not claim to have the cure or all the knowledge about this, all I have done is give you my experience, By the by DCS? your sim is that good now I swear I smell jet fuel when I am in the sim :) Edited June 14, 2018 by flask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick8 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 At 53 I was 260 lbs, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and couldn’t go up a flight of stairs without taking a break half way up. At 55 I’m at 210 lbs, bp of 120/74 with a resting heart rate of 60, and the cholesterol is well within acceptable tolerances. And the sex... ;) 2 mile walk with my wife at least 3 times a week, Yoga twice a week, healthy(ish) diet. Did I mention the sex... You can do it brother.

M1Combat Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Nobody wants to hear about people who are 55 years old having sex... Just saying. Everyone has sex. I'm 40 and I'm pretty sure my grandpa still has sex. Glad you got in shape though ;).
