      It’s called “the silent killer” for a reason. Maybe you’re just tired lately from working hard, or you’ve been having headaches from eye strain, or maybe your blood pressure is at 170/120 and you’re actually near death.

      That’s the shit that scares me. I’ve worked really hard to get my blood pressure way down (currently 110/60) and intend to keep it that way.

        Yeah me too, but I haven’t gotten my shit together with diet or exercise and my doctor is taking it way too cautiously with medication.

        I’m constantly too tired t put enough energy into getting my doctor to be useful and getting myself in gear …… actually Pokémon Go is the only thing that works. Every Saturday I’ll take a 3-5 mile walk with my teens (except recently with heat waves)
