Well I figured since I am turning 30 next month, it might be a good time to get a physical. So I got a new doctor with my new insurance, and went in for a visit today.

The results?

1. No more caffeine. There is a valve at the top of your stomach and caffeine relaxes it. So no caffeine and it should close and stop acid reflux. (edit: Here's a link to explain it!) Unfortunately right now I have 2 liters of Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper, & Cherry Coke in my fridge. I need people to come over to drink it. Man's movie night? The new Venture Bros? Call me, I'm available!

2. Cinder Blocks. He wants me to elevate the head of my bed with cinder blocks. I wonder if I'll slide down during the night?

3. Sleep Apnea test. I'm doing the first one tonight. I got a little monitor I hook up to my finger. Seeing how my Dad had it, and it's hereditary... chances are good.

4. My knee problems since 4 wheeling on the 31st is probably a sprain. Never heard of a sprained knee before, but apparently it's pretty common. He wants me to give it more time.

Overall I liked him. Definitely took the time to answer all my questions. With my previous doctor I always felt rushed. Never got everything taken care of.
