And I appreciate all the advice and yes I hope thjs answers a lot of questions for others. But when someone says "being fucking responsible and get a bp monitor" that isn't exactly the advice I was looking for.
After about 500 threads of new and (even more sadly) very experienced guys that are asking the same type of thing you are asking it just gets really annoying to see the level of irresponsibility relating to heart health when playing a game that can really affect the heart/bp. People think its cool to just walk into the pharmacy and measure it and have no concept of how your BP fluctuates. We didnt know anything about you, so we had to assume. We get alot of shit heads here so its easy to jump to conclusions. ...And yes...grown men tend to get a little butt hurt if you call them irresponsible.
Normally I like to be semi-nice or at least objective. But since heart health/BP is a serious issue and theres so much ignorance about it some people get a little testy about it.
Had you mentioned you work in the medical profession that probably would have helped seperate you from the average shit head.
You still need a BP monitor at home. Wrist unit or not. its better than nothing.
