Yeah, here's a little PSA for you all - and something that people (including me, apparently) need to be reminded of... WATCH YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE!
I can't say it enough.
I'm a fairly healthy adult, with absolutely perfect blood work (i.e. cholesterol etc.) - but had no clue that I had high blood pressure - and it almost killed me the Thursday night.
I hadn't felt well for days - headache, slightly nauseous, jittery... Started feeling like I was going to pass out etc. so decided to check my BP at Rite Aid since I was there buying some Advil. Well, 199/120!
Completely lucky I didn't stroke out, or have a heart attack.
Long story short, check yourself before you wreck yourself! This shit sneaks up on you!
I'm home now, and working on it - but it could have been *very* different.
Besides, I've got too much Jeeping to do to be laid up!
