Apologies I haven't been around too much today. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and ordered to rest. I didn't listen to medical advice and went to a mental health expo (for mental health week) in the city. I am paying for it now with severe headaches.
Therefore I apologise folks, I am headed off for this evening. I think I had better rest.
Be back tomorrow!

I actually feel okay at the moment @Shaz51. When I went to the doctor I was shocked to find my blood pressure so high. My pulse rate was also high. I spent last night and this morning resting, so feel reasonably well now.

I haven't yet found out if I will need to take medication for blood pressure issues as yet @utopia. I find out bright and early Monday morning (I'm the first patient in).

Well, it was strange today when I went to the doctor for my blood pressure issues. Today it was low (weird I know), but my pulse rate was still really high. I am guessing low blood pressure is better than high blood pressure. Man, my body is strange!
