You're right. In my effort to get my message typed out I didn't add the most important. I thought about this when I went to bed and I even dreamed about getting up and editing this
I don't need to lose weight. I weighed in yesterday at 111 which is how I've been for almost all my life. I'm 5' 4.5"- 5'.5" lol... depending on who measures me. And am in my early 50's.
At the beginning of all my dr appointments (even dentist-he takes me BP too) it's high somewhere between 136/92 - 155/90.
It's always been 114/60 until several months ago.
so it's a change. my readings are usually lower at home, but not always.
yesterday at the dr it was 136/92. When I got home it was higher. But then I had a tetnus shot so I was in pain.
My dr said that this is something that I should keep track of because of family history and because of its jump in the past year.
I do have pre-diabieties. (is there a spell check on here?) I'll be getting this checked again in a few days (I didn't fast yesterday)
I was surprised because of my working out that my BP has gone up.
