a wake up call?

Yesterday I was feeling a tad ordinary at work. A mate took my blood pressure.





170/110





Normal is 120/80 or less




And the lower reading is the scary one. ie 110 rather than 80



This is stroke material.



I told Himself. And got the "you need to do something about this .... we both do" which I interpreted as "You're a fat cow, lose weight".



I took an anti-hypertensive this morning (and will continue so to do) and felt light headed and icky all day. Same colleague took my BP today .... 140/80. Much better but explains the feeling that I was going to fall over every time I bent down.



On Monday I have a doctor's appointment. I am not looking forward to this. I know I will get the lecture about taking myself off medication, lose weight and sundry other things. The medication thing I will take the rap for but if he tells me to lose weight then he will get the "Gee, thanks for pointing out the obvious, how do you suggest I DO this?" talk.



Work is pretty good.



I am home alone ..... telly time .... my choice!!!!!
