Blood Pressure

 So, my doctor determined I had hypertension.  (High Blood pressure for those who don't understand doctor speak well)

She put me on a med for that.  

Today's measurement:
108/83 with a pulse of 111

ONE of these is a good number.

I've been removing some salt from my diet.  
Literally haven't added any outside salt to anything.  Tonight's steak was cooked using pepper/garlic/onion.  No salt.  No salt added to my salad.  Probably had salt in the dressing, but nothing I added.  (Side note, steak is tasty.  I can tell there is no salt added, but it isn't bad, just different)

My diastolic (bottom number) and my pulse have both been high since my accident in 2016.  
Nothing I do seems to drop them very much.  I think my *sleeping* pulse is like 76 or something.  It doesn't get much more relaxed than sleeping.  It's worried me, minorly, since I noticed it.  

We'll see how it goes.  

oo

just did a quick google search
Looks like the 83 diastolic is actually an ok high normal number.  :)

Alright, dinner eaten, gotta put the leftovers away, then go to bed.  So tired.  and working at 8 tomorrow
