Gack! I'm prehypertensive! |
|
Twice in a row now my blood pressure has been at 140/80 (last time being 2 weeks ago).
Guess I better get on the stick and diet and exercise more and cut back on the sodium.
Sigh....I don't know if I can handle HTN and HIV at the same time.

Stress due to finals had my BP up over 140! I'm sure seeing Kerry in the WH will also lower people's BP :)
