Hi buddies!
I had a great weekend spending lots of time with others and eating lots of wonderful food, but not too much.
Today I learned that my blood pressure might be a little too low. I think I need more salt, which I barely use. My parents bought a blood pressure monitor because my lil sis got diagnosed with high bp and was told its hereditary. Or it could be the large amounts of salt and red meat she's been consuming! My bp reading was just a little too low, which apparently isn't necessarily a concern medically unless you have symptoms... and I do have "orthostatic hypotension," dizziness when standing up sometimes, which is a symptom. I think I am already drinking adequate water, another thing ppl with low bp need to note, but I guess I'll pay more attention. Apparently I can also raise my blood pressure by drinking coffee. I didn't have coffee this morning because I slept at my parent's house due to exhaustion and a storm, but maybe I need to keep drinking it regularly. I don't really want to add more coffee, though, bc it affects my sleep. BTW, I need a new mattress. The bed in my old room in my parent's house is soooo much more comfortable than mine. I think I could get a lot more sleep with a softer one.
Have a wonderful day!
