WADDLING

After a great workout day on Tuesday, I awoke early Wednesday prepared to head for the gym for a run. I was disappointed to wake up with one of my famous migraine headaches. Soon after the stomach woes kicked in and I headed back to bed with no hope of even making it to work.


My head felt like it was ready to explode. I knew that my blood pressure had been alittle on the high side. Last summer after a check up, I was told to lose weight and excercise. I have lost weight and I do excercise. Because of being adopted, I do not know my family history and that could be a factor. I took my BP only to see the reading say 170/105. Damn!!! I knew if I called the MD they would send me to ER. I opted to go back to bed. By evening it had come down to 155/94. Better but not great. I made a deal with myself to get it checked and not increase my workouts like planned until I did.

This morning when I woke up, I still felt crappy. So I stayed home again. I can't remember the last time I called in for 2 days for me. Mr Waddler wanted to take me to ER but being the very stubborn person that I am , he went to work and I promised to call the MD by 9am.

Currently I am waiting for the office to open. I am researching options and gaining as much information about High Blood Pressure Treatment. I do not want this to change any of my goals. I am one of those people who hate taking medication. Also being in the medical field, once I start taking High blood pressure medication, I am labeled as hypertensive. I just want to labeled as healthy.

Waddling to talk to the MD.................
