It feels cold despite the 40

But maybe because I associate Chicago with personal misery

Don't you live in Philly?

They had me track it for a while each day. The highest reading was 165/101. I am on the highest dose of amlodipine besylate and it seems to be hovering around 145/90 with swollen ankles.

Christ. I hope you get that under control. My fam on dad’s side all suffered from hypertension...it’s serious bznss because you can feel fine while it kills you. Good luck and I agree with #9 to get serious about this

Also, I visited mom over the holidays to find out that my brother had her car windows tinted with limo tint. The poor woman can barely see out of them now. I’m going to inflict physical violence on this clown when I see him

Well, the doctor thinks it is mostly related to my genetics. Every male in my family has hypertension. Also, I probably drink too much.

That's a shame as you had cankles to begin with.

Afaik primary ht is idiopathic but of course that is not to say there isnt a reason here, i used to register wildly but above normal, from 140 to 160 or 170. Yesterday was 120 70 so i got that going for me ha

Plus unless they catheter i think its an indirect measurement? And can change when we measure it (we acknowledge 'white coat hbp' but not 'hbp hbp'?) And afaik a risk factor yes but not a death sentence. In any case take care of course and good luck.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

I tend to measure lower in the doctor’s office actually. Perhaps because I tend to measure it at work where they have one of these arm band machines.

I'm pretty sure (based on what she told us) that a friend of ours almost had her baby stolen at the local grocery store last night.

 

[Harold falcon]

What? Holy ****!

 

[Harold falcon]

Oh c’mon! ******* kill me.

Why do you people not return their shopping carts to the corral? They just leave them strewn out in the lot, like walking a row is insurmountable with an empty cart.

Even dumber is the people who return them 90% of the way then go, "I've done my part" and leave it in a spot next to the corral.

 

[Harold falcon]

Ha! Shopping carts. How plebeian!

 

[HRoi]

I park really far away from those corrals because i don’t want strays to ding my car. But then that makes the corrals too far to bring the cart to...
