Achievement unlocked: Blood pressure so high that it's out of range of electronic meters, and a manual measurement was necessary

@joepie91 Probably a good idea to call in some medical assistance. High blood pressure can be extremely dangerous.
re: health-
@ClaudetteK Yep, this is already being monitored by my doc (well, and myself), and a specialist visit is probably in the cards - it's a long-running saga, just today's peak was absurd
re: health-
@ClaudetteK Yep, I suspect that stress (and trauma) is also a factor here - most recent blood test looked almost like it came out of a textbook as an example of 'correct values'
re: health-
@joepie91 Oh, wow! It’s bizarre what the body will absorb and yet still continue to function through, isn’t it? I never used to take stress seriously as a cause for anything physical but, man!, am I finding out the hard way. Having had COVID recently doesn’t help either, of course. 😏
re: health-
@joepie91 Ugh, I hear you. Take good care of yourself!
Some BP issues here as well, though luckily (mostly) only systolic, which can be traced back directly to absurd amounts of stress. But apparently you need time to relax to do something about that, so farmaceuticals it is (says me, not my GP, though he might, too, soon. 🤷🏽♀️ ). Sláinte!
