*Ever since my recent heart attack I have been trying to live a healthier life by exercising more, and eating less...which has been easier than I expected it to be, probably because of my previous familiarity with a least the fundamentals of both of these activities...and by taking a number of newly prescribed medicines (four)...on a regular basis...which in its turn has been at least a little harder than I expected it to be, possibly because of my complete lack of familiarity with having to take any kind of medicine on a regular basis, which I have made easier...at least for myself...by first making a number of small but comforting preparations, which I have listed here...in no particular order.
1. Made a list of all of my medicines.
2. Found out what each of these medicines is supposed to do.
3. Found out how each of these medicines should be taken, and for how long, and about what should be done if a dose is missed.
4. Found out if taking a particular medicine requires avoiding certain foods and/or dietary supplements and/or caffeine and/or alcohol and/or other beverages?
5. Found out if taking a particular medicine requires avoiding certain activities, such as driving?
6. Found out if any of these new medicines will conflict in any way with any other prescription and/or over-the-counter medicines that I am already taking.
7. Found out if any of these new medicines are going to cause any side effects, like loss of sleep, and if so what should be done about them?
