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!".


The not caring as much is impossible. Especially jobwise. I've never bought the "silent killer" thing. I've always been able to feel it. The ringing, feeling "hot", raging over nothing. I'm medded up and reading about 115-20 over 60-70.
