Health and the Commodore Curse....

OK, what is it with these things?

I've been feeling unhealthy and fat and lethargic, so I went to join the gym. I didn't see the first reading on my blood-pressure - the guy just shook his head, said "That's not right" and reset the machine before I could read it - but then proceded to clock 145/115 a few times before being told I couldn't use the gym without seeing my GP.

Who I'm seeing tomorrow. Which is a bit concerning, at a youthful 32 years of age, to be feeling quite so crapulent. I'm a bit nervous about it, hence this bit of drivel. I know it's not really anything compared to the health problems that some of ma homies *chicken-head-symbol hand-gesture* have had, but all the same... *grumble*

Anyway. Enough witter.

I hear you brother. I'm 36 and the list of health issues is stacking up. Good luck on the test.

Hopefully it will just be a thyroid thing.

I'm sure it's nothing alarming, Bog.

It's still a good thing to get into shape, whatever the outcome. I've never felt so healthy and happy as when I used to work out 4-5 per week. Which reminds me, I need to get myself a gym card again.

Anyway, good luck tomorrow, though I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Aim for 144 over 88 if possible Bog... I recommend lots of warm milk and a chris abbott "Crystal Dreamscapes" CD. We'll soon have that BP down to normal m8. PS: streaming smoothjazz.com through winamp works well too

Consistantly high BP can lead to stroke, and trust me, thats the LAST thing you want. Don't push yourself so hard, your health aint worth it in the long term.

I got one of these:

I take it easy, but get my daily dose. Heart/bp monitors are about a tenner.

Hey, Bog!
Get well soon, dude!

Age and that little extra portion of weight do wierd things to blood pressure and heartbeat rate...

I've had to add some 50kg extra fat to reach halfway normal readings...
