My husband, who can ted to tell me very little, well most comes after the fact the same day or even a week later, comes home last night after work and says " I have high blood pressure". He proceeds to walk out of the kitchen like it was a general statement people say everyday. Kinda like "Hi Honey, how was your day?" That is how nonchalant it was!
A little dumb founded, I asked "What makes you think that?"
"I had a psychical today and that is what they told me." he replied
More news to me, I asked " A psychical, when did you schedule a doctor's appointment?" This is a man who despises going to the doctor's office.
"For work" he groaned "Every year I have to have a psychical, remember, the state law says so!" (he is a driver)
So of course, I start firing questions at him and finish with "Well, that's not good!"
My husband is only 31, my first thought is wow, he is a bit young to have high blood pressure. He could stand to lose about 50 lbs. I am sure they told him that but with his lack of info, I may not hear about it till next week. They suggested he go to his regular doc and get on some medication. I am going to look around on the Internet to see what else he can do besides start popping pills at 31.

2 Nibbles & Sips:
High blood pressure at 31? That's a little frightening isn't it? But I'm not at all surprised. I did have high blood pressure once quite a while back. I took to eating lots of celery and star fruit (I'm not sure if that's the actual name but that's what it's called here) and it kinda helped. I hate popping any kind of pills whatsoever. maybe you can get your hubby to try. hope that helps in some way.
