... High blood pressure?
« on: March 05, 2009, 10:07:14 pm »
I am well... Confused... And a bit worried.

The other day someone told me I had a red spot in my eye, I didn't think much about it but I decided to look in a mirror anyway.

It was blood, a capillary or something burst in my eye... That could of meant a few things, so I checked my blood pressure and it was at high pre-hypertension levels.

This feels weird, i'm only 22 and I could have a blood pressure problem developing... I'm going to a doctor about it soon but it still seems strange. Is this something I should be worried about? Or could it of just been a fluke or something?

Definitely worth checking out with a doctor. If only to ease your mind, and thusly reduce your stress/blood-pressure.

No, that was a post about complimenting SHB's post. The end part, where he mentioned high blood pressure, was really what tied it all together.

Anyway, you should eat less salt.

Oh, in that case never mind.

And I already avoid salt.

Bloodletting is known to reduce blood pressure. So eh... Go emo?

actually, bloodletting would do nothing. blood pressure is a muscle thing.

a doctor is a good idea, though.

That would be odd. In bullfighting, they poke holes in the bull so he bleeds to reduce blood pressure. Otherwise he'd get a heart attack from the rage.

Honestly I doubt it. It just ends up pussifying the bull. What a load of bullshit.

I'd suggest just relaxing your muscles. That could help.

Well, actually, Yanlin is right.
The pressures will burst out from the holes.

Like a bottle of water. If you carve a hole in the 'down' side of it, the waters will burst out.
So do blood. They're both liquid.
But yeah, that means that with the same diameter of wound, high pressured blood will come out at a more alarming rate than normal pressured blood.
Be wary when you're wounded.

Bulls can have heart attacks because they're SO ANGRY?

I never knew.

High blood pressure can be very dangerous after a period. You better visit the doctor as soon as possible.
Just a question: Are you fat?

I bet I'm fatter than him. Blood pressure runs in the family.

But I don't have high blood pressure...

After going to the doctor there doesn't seem to be any problems... In fact he said I was remarkably healthy considering some of my habits.

I guess the test was a fluke.
