i had a health check up on tuesday. prior to the health check i had to fast for 10 hours. which means when i woke up on tuesday morning i cannot eat breakfast. i can only drink plain water. luckily i scheduled my health check early in the morning at 830 am.
so i measured my blood pressure. the first time reading was at 158! my normal blood pressure should be less than 130. the lady was also shocked to see my blood pressure was so high, and she tell me to measure again. after 15 min i go and measure again, using a different machine. this time it was 148. i got a bit worried and told darling. darling was worried also, and tell me to have a healthy diet and stop drinking gravy.
for the next few days i was still in a state of shock because i cant get over the fact that i have high blood pressure at such a young age. ok lah i am 31 approaching 32 already not that young anymore, but still it is hard for me to absorb the truth.
darling bought me a blood pressure monitor so that my parents and i can use it to measure daily. my father has high blood pressure too.
and so i measured my blood pressure in the afternoon. 122! woo hoo. i felt assured.
in the evening i measure again. 104!
i will measure again tomorrow morning. tomorrow morning shall conclude whether both machines on tuesday were wrongly calibrated.
