After a routine physical exam with my regular doctor, I started watching my diet and my weight. I haven't had any fast food, soft drinks, alcohol, candy, or ice cream since that exam. I ordered a blood pressure monitor and my BP has consistently been within the limits necessary to pass the aviation medical exam. I've been exercising 4 to 5 days a week and I've lost 10 pounds.
I found an aviation medical examiner (AME) through the Student Pilot web site. And I passed the exam today. Now I have my medical certificate, which is a prerequisite for solo flight.
My next step: finding a certified flight instructor.
