My head hurts
I have a stinkin cough, and it makes my head feel like it is going to explode!
Doc says my Blood pressure is ok though 120/80. I was at the store the other day and saw one of those do it yourself b/p testers. I said what the heck. I sat down and tested myself. When I saw the results I almost had a heart attack right there. 176/ 142. I was scared to death. I could not get to see the doc that day so I had to wait til the next day to get it checked for real.
Moral of the story: Don't bother with the instore b/p testers. They have not been calibrated since they were installed.
I think the store must want to sell more expensive blood pressure medication
