That blood pressure thing is a bitch. Mine wasn't that high, but it was way up there. I know it was job-related stress and my Doctor told me to try "caring less". I quit, my BP dropped, and I should be off meds after my next check-up.

They call it the silent killer but that's bullshit- I felt my ears ringing and all sorts of symptoms. The first day I went thinking I had an issue the Doctor bitched out the girl/nurse up front in my presence: "he called in saying he could feel he had high blood pressure and you made him wait three weeks for an appointment, he should have died!".
