Blood Pressure

High blood pressure or hypertension to be more specific. I went to the women’s health clinic a few weeks ago and after I had finished blathering on about myself “J” checked my blood pressure and noted that it was a tad high. 150 over something.

So Yesterday I went to visit our local GP and he checked my blood pressure again.

“Holy High Pressure Hose Batman” it was 190/100..

Fuck! I must be ready to explode..

So now I have to do the dreaded E word.

excercise

EEEEW even typing it gives me the creeps.

    EEEeeK!

    Thats some pretty scary blood pressure reading. Good luck with getting it down.

    I’d be betting that stress is playing quite a part in bumping it up that high though.

    I’ve got a system of denial about high BP you can borrow!

    Ha.

    My high blood pressure is not the kind that responds to exercise and eating right.

    So I just get to take drugs. I “should” still exercise and eat right. (The eating right is rather happening by default, since the list of things I cannot eat without feeling nauseated grows weekly.)

    But it’s not like your life has been stress-free, so when things calm down are busy in a less stressful more healthy grandbaby way, that should help with your blood pressure…

    Even better: eat right, movement (that raises your heart rate), and get the right vitamins in your diet.

    Oh and lots and lots of fiber.

    I can’t even read the word exercise without flinching. It’s a sad reminder that I keep putting it off. On the plus side my blood pressure is perfect. Always has been.
