[FONT="]I’ve been having my blood pressure checked almost weekly recently. At my appointment today, the doc notified my numbers have been consistently high the last few months I’ve been seeing him. I’ve been told that my blood pressure was high before, so I can’t say its from the test, now at 600mg week, but I can’t say that the test hasn’t exacerbated my preexisting condition. He gave me a diuretic, hctz 25mg, in hopes that the water I’m holding may be contributing factor. I’m only 26, but this show you the importance of getting regular check ups. I “feel” fine, but that goes to show you that you may have underlying health concerns even if you appear healthy. He says its not a big deal now, but its something to keep an eye on. You usually associate high bp with fat people who never exercise and smoke. I’m none of those.[/FONT]
