The Medical Thread

Thanks for the response. I'll improve my diet and exercise more, and see if that causes any difference. If not, I'll talk to my doc when I'm home at Xmas. Today did not see a repeat, so I think it might just have been food poisoning.

I've been hearing for a long time that schools start too early. I am not surprised at all that such problems would happen.

Would having more blood vessels and a stronger heart than normal help with having high blood pressure? If so, what would life be for someone like this?

The problem with high blood pressure is principally the overly-narrow blood vessels that cause high blood pressure, and the toxic effects of the signals that cause said narrow blood vessels, if that helps.
