My Blood Pressure
Jun. 29th, 2004 11:27 amMy BP is high, and I can tell. I feel just "off" enough that it is bothersome. I checked my own BP thingy against the one at Walmart and they agree = 148/95.
Now it could be worse, I know, but that's bad enough, especially when I am already taking medication for it. I'm sure it has much to do with what is going on in my life these days, and when that passes, I hope I will settle. If it is no better after the weekend, I'll go to the doctor.
Though the weekend will likely make it worse; it will be Grand Central Station at the guesthouse, starting tomorrow and going through the weekend.
To cope with the difficulty, I need to get more exercise, as that will reduce the stress as well as help with my BP in the long run; I'll try drinking more as well, and see if I can cut back on coffee. If anyone knows of anymore "tricks" that might help in the short term, let me know!
Does athelas tea have caffeine in it?
