:lol: That picture represents my heart.
IMO, this is what makes Wacky a great poster. As long as he knows someone is just giving him crap, he can :lol: it off better than anyone.

There are other things, too, but I have always liked this.

Hypertenstion is high blood pressure. It is a disease. I don't think diseases are reactionary. I have been wrong on a lot of things, so Dr. gE needs to respond.

It can be, but if it's consistently high then that is hypertension.  You should probably buy a $50 wrist monitor from your local pharmacy and monitor that.

To an extent. I wouldn't expect any noticeable changes due to diet until sticking with it for at least a few weeks, though. If you can do something for the anxiety, I would expect more immediate results. I'm not sure what you are supposed to do about that, though, other than maybe improving your outlook on life. What is stressing you out? If it's money, don't worry about it. Just take all of the money you are saving due to not drinking any more and pay off your debt.

there's this thing referred to as "white coat syndrome" where people get a little anxious in doctor's offices so their blood pressure will elevate. 160/100 is pretty damn high though. you are the demographic that doctors especially struggle with because you are otherwise healthy and not obese so it will be tough to get you to change your lifestyle.

the more you know.  :gocho:

Great deets you guys. I usually only sleep for like 6 hours. Unless I've had a few night caps and I can sleep for a solid 8-9. She gave me some natural sleep medicine for ppl w/ anxiety. She thinks lack of sleep is half the problem. My anxiety isn't money. It's just hard to explain. It's a chemical imbalance that runs on my moms side. It's just certain moments out of nowhere. Hence, the time I gave a cheers to my former CEO at my last job, shook, and blasted his glass. It's hard to explain, but I feel a lot more comfortable with this new doctor.

Maybe it's younger brother syndrome. I'm always waiting for the slap!  :dunno:

Are you skinny fat? That may be the problem, not the skinny part, but the fat part.

wacky,

feel free to not answer, but does your family have a history of high blood pressure or heart issues? that's obviously a huge factor and is sometimes just as important as diet, etc..
