I had always attributed the fact that I am kinda tired due to the fact that I work more than one job and put in long hours at each.
It would seem however, after my boss forced me to go and get my blood pressure checked that it is high. (I thought you had to have a heart to have blood pressure.)
So I went to my doctor, and after checking it a total of eight times because I have never had other than normal pressure....it would seem I am on borderline stroke level.
So I was immediately placed on some medicine that would bring it down and told to come back today to insure that it is indeed coming down.
To our surprise, it has gone even higher. Have been told that if it doesn't start coming down by next Friday (gonna give the meds some more time to kick in,) then I may be checked into the hospital.
I only hope they clean the stirrups in my room this time and grant me a late checkout. I need the sleep.
