Blood Pressure and You
Had to take a physical on Wednesday and my blood pressure was 186/110 in both arms(give or take). The MD looked at me, then looked at my legs, then states.. You are not swollen, you do not have CHF but your pressure is through the roof. I am very nervous when it comes to doctors and yes I am a nurse(go figure).
Well, I went to visit someone on that morning and they fed me breakfast. I called and asked the person I visited " Did the food you prepared have pork in it?' She states "yes!" Well I know it's said it is impolite to say no when someone offers you something but in this case she offered me a stroke and a heart attack. Pay attention to what you eat. Ask questions.
