Oddly, my blood pressure is usually low, on the order of 90 over 60 to 70 over 50 low.
Above 100 is high for me.
*shrugs*
Drinking even a tiny amount of even wine probably isn't a good idea for me.
I metabolise the stuff weird, and alcoholism runs in the family.
Once again, the pharmacologist's nightmare in action.
It takes 2 to 4 times the amount of alcohol it should for me to even feel a mild effect.
Weighing what I do and my age being what it should, I should have had alcohol poisoning at least once so far.
Instead, zip.
Not even a hangover from that.
That was the last time I drank, there didn't seem to be a point in it since everythign appeared normal for teh whole time of the 'test'.
Handwriting, speech, coordination all checked out fine.
I'm not a medical authority either, but have been trying to piece together some info in the family.
So far, I've found out that there is cancer of various kinds, diabetes, heart problems NOT related to arterial plaque buildup, and certain mental disorders at least in one person in the family taht are known.
Still, at this point I'll try almost anything to reduce the headache.

If so far you have only tried traditional procedures, then herbal remedies could be useful. You may wish to speak to someone
knowledgeable about appropriate herbal teas, including green tea, et cetera.
And this is not the end of alternatives, either. There are "energy" workers who claim that they can help to align your psychic energy flows. If you are one who is sensitive to this idea, it could work for you.
More sceptical types, (such as I), are not very supportive of this, but what do we know? Heinlein said, "If it helps to turn your hat around during a poker game ... then it helps."
It could be real, on a frequency to which I am not attuned, or it could be similar to hypnotic suggestion. At any rate, if it helps, then it helps.
Please keep us apprised of your progress. (NnB looks at shiny instruments of medieval surgery and sighs, time to feed the leeches...)
