Strange blood pressure.

[Lupercal CATS]

I've never had high blood pressure in my life and for kicks I did the grocery store test. It read 160 over 69. I know hardly anything about high blood pressure because I've always had very good blood pressure and never worried about it. Is it time for a doctor visit? The test was taken right before bed.

Are you running dbol? Are you bloated?

How big are your arms? The machines in pharmacies, grocery stores, etc, are designed for "normal" people, arms that are maybe 13in max. Mine are only like 16.5, and are still too big to even fit in the machine. If it's too tight, it'll give a high reading. Also, sometimes readings are just weird. I took my BP last night several times... got like 152/96 once... then 5 minutes later, got 118/76, my normal good BP. I use a wrist BP monitor so that arm size doesn't matter. Get a wrist monitor or have a professional check it, preferably several times throughout the day. One erroneous reading means little. Also, your systolic was high, but your diastolic was quite low... my bet is you just are too big for machine to read right.

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to Tux again.

Thanks bro. I doubt I'm too big (don't know arm size). I'll check it a few times today. I'm sure it was just a strange reading.

You might want to start taking 1 aspirin/day to thin your blood slightly. Aspirin is a very safe drug with minimal sides.
