Default Add me to this one...

I'm finding I have lessening strength of my entire body. I don't know how much of it is due to the forced lack of exercise due to all the stress fractures. Also, there is another thing that comes up. Blood pressure issues. The last two days I struggled to walk from one seat in the house to another seat. Breathlessness, couldn't get a deep breath. Just exhausted.

Then we happened to take my blood pressure. 174/118 here at home. Called the doctor and had to go to night clinic. When they took my bloodpressure there, 201/106. The doctor on duty immediately put me on blood pressure medication.

But I noticed the lack of strength and we keep a blood pressure cuff here at home. Something to consider. It was a sudden thing. Had bloodwork done today but don't know what it says yet.
