Blood Pressure

So, I went to the doctor yesterday and as with anytime you go to the doctor, they check your blood pressure. Well, I for sure thought it would be VERY high, considering that I was sick in which is always the case when I have a cold, flu, ect…well, after taking my blood pressure, he proceeds to tell me that I have EXCELLENT blood pressure So, out of curiosity…I ask him what my reading was…he tells me it was 96/44 I am thinking …omg..am I still alive?That seemed so low especially when normal for me is 127/80. Well, he then proceeds to tell me that since I had quit smoking ( been smoke free for 5 months now), that in itself will lower my blood pressure, not counting the walking I do and my change of diet. Well, I can see how it would lower your blood pressure, but c’mon….96/44? But,…he said that it was great so who am I to argue with someone who has an MD ANYWAY…my pulse was very good also…it was 66, resting. If it weren’t for my sore throat, he probably would have thought I was a nut case or something  Anyway, feeling MUCH better today. I think I will definately just chill out today before I go tackle my house…OMG…it looks as if a tornado came through…TWICE Maybe I’ll leave it til hubby gets home this weekend Nah,  that’s too mean! LOL

Well, hope everyone has a good day!
