I’m pushing the big 50 and every time I go for my ob/gyn appointment the nurse practically hyperventilates when she takes my bp. She usually repeats it 2 or 3 times. She just can’t believe that someone in my age group, not thin, can have a bp of 105/70. It’s usually 95 or 100/70ish when I’m at home or medical kin takes it. ‘White coat’ adds a good 5 or 10 to the top.
I usually tell the nurse that I low carb and that’s why my bp is so good. After a shocked look she then usually proceeds to tell me ‘but that’s not healthy for your heart!’. LOL. W/o realizing the contradictions in front of her face. Indoctrinated in nursing school they are...
