High Blood Pressure
My boyfriend has twice now had really high blood pressure readings in the last 6 months. So high infact that his doctor is going to put him on some medications if it doesn't go down ASAP. Obviously we talked about things to do at home to regulate this before it gets to that point.
I'm really concerned. He's only 32 years old and its making me wonder and feel sort of guilty. I know he has a TON on his shoulders....me moving in, kids, work, money, all kinds of things.
He says he's eating better since I moved in, not as much frozen pizza and popcorn chicken type stuff for dinner. I am going to try to step up the amount of fruits and veggies around the house as snacks.
We also talked about putting the gym memberships we pay for (and don't use) to use again. When the kids are put to bed the plan is for him to go to the gym and I'll stick around the house.
I guess my blood pressure is always low when I have mine checked so this is new to me and I always associate high blood pressure with 50-year-old men and heart attacks. I want to take care of him and I want him to want to take care of himself.
If anyone has any good suggestions or experience I'd like to hear it.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
