Health

Every time I go to the doctor, my blood pressure is slightly high because I'm nervous so the doctor has the assistant take my blood pressure again at the end of my appointment. Sometimes it's higher at the end because the doctor scared the bejeezus out of me. Once they took my blood pressure at the end three times and got three different numbers! The doctor said to just take an average of the three numbers. That was the day I had to have my blood pressure taken by that lousy machine FOUR TIMES! I'm surprised I didn't have bruises on my arm

One day last year I had my blood pressure taken and it 103/80. The assistant asked me if I usually have low blood pressure. No. At the follow-up appointment, it was 97/80! She remarked that it was funny, everybody coming in that day had low pressure. Hello! You don't think there might be something wrong with your machine?
