athelindI went to the doctor's today, to make sure some discomfort I've had in my back wasn't a kidney issue, since it was right where the kidney should be. It's most likely a pulled muscle or something similar, for the record.
As always, of course, they took my blood pressure. For years, it's been running around 120/85, which isn't great, but isn't terrible for a man in his mid-40s.
Last time I went in, a few months ago, it was at 110/80.
Today, it was at 106/76, which is pretty good for a guy in his twenties.
Please note that this is after six months of morning coffee, a habit I've never indulged in regularly before. The 120/80 period was when I was strictly decaf.
Well, coffee does have diuretic properties, and they do prescribe diuretics for high BP.
Or maybe it's just six months of not living with a teenager.

Date: 2010-06-30 06:01 am (UTC)I had three this morning. I was really, really pissy on the drive home, 12 hours later.
Do NOT tailgate me when I'm in that state. I mean, don't tailgate me EVER, but the second and third cup of coffee is the difference between me Just Driving A Little Slower and me Slamming On My Brakes.
