High blood

After the medical exam last Friday, I was distraught. For the first time, I have high blood pressure.

I had a medical exam last February, and my blood pressure was 130/80. Last Friday, three different nurses took my BP each: 140/90, 150/90, and 150/80. I got a sermon from the doctor who made the physical examination (valid excuse for molestation he he), telling me to avoid oily, salty, sweet food – basically all of them. The doc wanted me to starve to death!

Anyway, I am distraught. After all, I have just started delving into food blogging, and then this.

What a one month hiatus can do to your health.

Tomorrow, I will be a Makati boy officially. That means more MRT woes, and double them (since I would be taking the MRT both ways now). As exercise, I promise to walk from the PBCOM Tower to the Ayala MRT Station.

Oh well, wish me luck.

    Don’t worry, high blood pressure can be easily managed by medication. That’s easier than swearing off yummy food, hehe.

    I’m no longer worried. My new travel time will make sure that my blood pressure will return to normal. Give it three weeks.

    Yay for yummy food!
