I recently bought my mother a blood pressure machine to monitor her blood pressure since she needs to do that. Well, you know how mothers are....she insisted that I do it too.
My stats so far have been surprising. It's been up in the middle to high range, and I had no idea! I'm keeping a log of it, but I'm starting to wonder if this has been my problem all along as to why I always feel so exhausted, and always having headaches. I just contributed it to allergies, lack of vitamin D (which I'm taking pills for), and everything else.
I admit to being stressed out, although I'm trying to keep myself calm and give all of my worries up to the Lord. My job has been stressful with the downsizing, pay freezes, and no backfilling of any open positions. I'm worried as to where my career is going, if I need to make a change, and if so, will it come back to bite me in the butt? Then of course, you have your usual family dramas into the mix. I have siblings that seem incapable of managing their money issues, and some in laws that seem to be here on earth just to torment me.
I'll be going in to see my doctor soon, and I'm hoping I won't need to be on blood pressure medicine. Does anyone know of some ways that you can bring down your blood pressure besides the obvious? Thanks!
Blood Pressure?
Actually, that's what been interesting...I cannot tolerate caffeine, as it makes me dizzy, so a lot of that has been cut out. I also don't drink any sodas, or have any chocolates.
