Doctor, Doctor

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.
