It's spironolactone. I take it for PCOS. I also take a thyroid pill, but other than sometimes I'm dumb and put it in my mouth before I have water and it dissolves cos it's tiny, it doesn't taste bad.
The gym should help with the BP. They don't have to be for life, depending on how you manage it and your situation. I'm not a doctor, so I wouldn't presume to say that's a given, but from my limited knowledge and experience, it is possible. Just make sure you're careful and don't over exert yourself too quickly. See if you can get some personal training for a few sessions to set you up on a few personalised routines. That's what I did when I started. I had a herniated disc at the time, and needed to know what was safe and what would best strengthen. Same as if your BP is high, you don't want to do anything that's going to overload you and make you pass out.
What do you take for the reflux? My doctor put me on one cos I had a cough (?) and I have reflux on occasion, but the two weren't related (as I suspected. I wasn't remotely concerned by the cough but oh well. Only took it two weeks. Now I get by on Quikeze and Equate's version of Tums. My boyfriend takes...omeprazole? I'll have to google it. I don't like taking extra shit cos I take a few for PCOS and my thyroid and I'm concerned, particularly with the thyroid one, about contraindications.
It's possible. My ultrasound was inconclusive, but I got my diagnosis based off of bloodwork and symptoms. I get the hormonal side of it pretty bad (hense the anti androgen), but I apparently don't have any more cysts than the average woman. Go figure. Not sure I trust that doctor, but no other doctor since seems too concerned so meh.
What's the most vomit inducing thing you've ingested?

I used to take Nexium, but now I take Zantac. I have on occasion wondered if I might have something like PCOS.
