    I think 130 is point at which your systolic becomes a concern. I used to measure mine quite often and if I had had a barrage of coffee it would get up to that, mine is generally 110/80.

    Also got to go for an ECG as well tomorrow, just before I fly. No champagne tomorrow.
    That's a shame. Sorry to hear you're still alive

    Not because he asked for it, but because the Airhostess ordered him to clean up after he pleased himself.

    Could have been worse. It could have been on your way back to your table with the drinks. I find this a bit hard to believe though, maybe you just came over all faint because someone pointed out it was your round?

    Blood pressure was 133/110, says I may have to go on medication, whatever that means.

    Got to go back on Monday for a few more blood test results and another BP test.
    Like Vetran says, that bp's not too bad.

    What? That they were all conceived from the dregs of the inside of condoms found by the side of the road in the Red Light district of Luton. Nobody is that cruel to tell them the truth.

    Add bloodshot eyes to the list, my missus looks like a vampire on the turn from The Strain at the moment due to high blood pressure

    The initial rumours about Michael Jackson being dead were untrue. He was found later on in the children's ward having a stroke.
