It's the Raya/ Merdeka holidays and I've been stuffing my face silly. Yes. I know. I'm a self-confessed food junkie with an insatiable craving and fondness for all things yummy.
You'd think given the stress I have at work, coupled with this indiscriminate eating (and drinking) fixation, my blood pressure would hover at dangerously high levels.
This was taken just an hour ago.
Should I be worried? Is that normal?
I've been to see a few doctors. And all said basically the same things. You lucky thing, you.
But normal is about 120/80. And please God, let me be normal. So my Merdeka resolution is to achieve that.
To increase my blood pressure, I have been told to do ALL of these :
- Gain weight. Eat eat eat. Especially if it's red meats and high in fat.
- Don't ever exercise. Just lie down.
- Take more salty food.
- Drink more alcohol.
- Increase my caffeine intake. Think coffee and Coca Cola.
- Smoke cigarettes or any tobacco product.
Tears of joy.
