Well, yesterday I mentioned that wearing a skirt felt so good I could feel my blood pressure drop, and it turns out that wasnt a figurative statement. I went to get my estrogen prescription refilled and used the blood pressure machine while I waited, and my blood pressure was 109/88 - a significant drop from before where I was hovering around the danger zone.
too bad I cant wear skirts all the time, but ah, well.

Wheellllll.... Hate to say it but...
109/88 does not look sooo good. Sorry. Yes, you will not get a stroke, but with upper number 109 lower should be between 65 and 75. Not over 80....
Buy yourself your own blood pressure monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Omron-HEM-432C-Inflation-Pressure-Moni...
It's just $19.
Or http://www.amazon.com/Omron-Series-Automatic-Pressure-Monito...
if you can spare extra $17.
Just be sure to read manual on how and when to measure your blood pressure.
I've never seen upper pressure above 130 in my life, but still I use pressure monitor couple of times a month. If you had history with high blood pressure - skip couple of dinners (it rarely hurts anyway ;-) ) and get yourself a decent blood pressure monitor (there are cheaper BPM's, but I myself tried Omron and A&D ones and they are good enough, reliable enough, good warranty and good value for money).
Take care!
Do you need any help
getting it back up again? ;)
