Last friday I got a wake up call. I went to Schiffert Center to get cure for my infected right ear (which I usually get whenever I have colds). The nurse asked me if I have taken any medication lately. I told her I have taken NyQuil for the two consecutive nights (I had colds and fever). -- She said I have to stop taking NyQuil since my blood pressure is high. I have hypertension?
I now regularly monitor my bp using a portable bp monitor I bought at Walmart. I guess I also need to schedule some exercise soon. My latest bp is almost normal -- so being diet conscious does pay. :)

Weeks before I left Virginia Tech I went to the health center too and the doctor said my blood pressure was at the borderline and a few ticks more and he would have precribed medicine. It was stress. A few weeks after I moved to a different place my blood pressure was normal.
Maybe you're watching too many exciting sporting events hehehe.
how I wish I can just watch sporting events. :)
I can still blame it on NyQuil - hehehe.
