also, I suggest you get a personal blood pressure monitor tester for $30 or so, practice mellowing out and sitting still with it, it's amazing how your blood pressure can read too high if you're stressed, or even sit at the wrong angle...
why? Some health insurance companies require you take a physicial exam before they insure you, and when I did that I was in traffic jam on the way there, had just drank some coffee, and the doctor read my blood pressure as being very high, but he was very cool, he said "did you get here in a hurry? Did I see you walk in with a cup of coffee?" and I said I was in a traffic jam on the way in, so he didn't write down the supposedly high blood pressure number, because he gently told me that would make me look hard to insure for an insurance company, he had me sit in the room for 10-15 minutes and a nice nurse came in at the end and measured my blood pressure and I was fine... and I got coverage...
so .... this shit can be weird...
