Went to the doctor today for the low-down. I'll have complete blood testing this week for things like cholesterol, blood sugar, etc. Today my blood pressure and pulse were high (BP: 156/106; PULSE: 104). That is classified as Stage 2 Hypertension, so I'll start medication for that today. Incidentally, here are the stages of hypertension (high blood pressure): Normal, Prehypertension, Stage 1 Hypertension, and Stage 2 Hypertension.
The doctor also gave me some general advice about healthy living and eating. Nothing revolutionary, just those practices I haven't yet made habit. I'll go back in three weeks to see if the meds are working.
