ReddevilNO Champion Author New Orleans Posts:3,371 Points:581,190 Joined:Aug 2011	Message Posted: Sep 15, 2011 10:48:18 PM Ignore ReddevilNO Report Abuse I check my pressure often because sometimes things can get pretty emotional, specially on the road driving long distances. It can also get pretty hectic at home with the youngsters. Bills are a big means of high emotions around the first of the month for most of us. I made it my business to get a monitor so I can check mine. It's really good to have one in the home.

Ignore ReddevilNO Report Abuse

I check my pressure often because sometimes things can get pretty emotional, specially on the road driving long distances. It can also get pretty hectic at home with the youngsters. Bills are a big means of high emotions around the first of the month for most of us. I made it my business to get a monitor so I can check mine. It's really good to have one in the home.

I am on four different meds to control BP, and hate it. Just read an article about hawthorn being a great heart tonic. Thinking I will try some and see how it affects these daily readings.

Sneakers55 Champion Author Houston Posts:51,300 Points:2,143,925 Joined:Nov 2005	Message Posted: Jan 14, 2012 11:54:37 AM Ignore Sneakers55 Report Abuse They checked it so darn much in November and December that my arm is getting a break. Even the adhesive from the TAPE FROM HELL the skilled nursing home used for their blood draws is going away. My blood pressure probably went up a little when I found my 89-year-old Mom had burned my Missouri hospital bill. She figured they would never find me in Texas and that $3000 was just too much to look me over after a car wreck that totaled the vehicle.

I have a really good blood pressure monitor that my doctor recommended me to get when I took a bunch of AP/Honors classes in high school. Just the stress from the course-load put me at Stage 1 Hypertension. No joke. >_<
