Hi Mario, Thanks for the concern, but don't blow it out of proportion as my aunt might be reading this! I only mentioned "slightly" high.
There is a history of high BP in my family (paternal side) but I have always had a healthy BP of 120/80, and I generally am a very calm person unlike my father. Imagine my shock when I saw my physician raise his eyebrows after checking my pressure during a routine checkup, and informing me that it was 135/90. He told me to relax as it was still boderline healthy and it was probably only stress related, but to get at least 6 to 7 hrs of proper sleep. Nevertheless, I have decided to keep it in mind and be more cautious, especially with regards to stress and sleep. Cheers, Aristo.
