Your blood pressure will go up if you’re nervous, even if it’s subconsciously. Obviously thinking you might have a heart attack will make you nervous.

Yep. When I sat down for the first BP reading, I told the nurse “this isn’t going to be good”.
I knew it would be wonky and likely improve.
Both my siblings are on high BP medications and my parents were too and my brother died largely, at least, from congestive heart failure. Anyway, it obviously runs in the family so I’m kinda surprised I’m not on some BP or heart medication yet (it’s certainly not due to clean living).
But…I’m not.
While I’m very relieved I’m also a TINY BIT disappointed. I didn’t want them to find anything seriously wrong but if they found something innocuous and said “here, take this antibiotic for two weeks and you’ll feel a 100 times better” that might have been nice.

It runs in my family too and my blood pressure was crisis high when I went to the hospital with my broken wrist. I imagine that had something to do with my hand looking like it was on backwards though. My mom weighed 90 pounds soaking wet, ate healthy and still had high blood pressure.

They put me on Lisinopril, but it was making me cough uncontrollably. I got olive leaf, and a natural herbal blood pressure control from the health food store. It actually works just as good and I don’t feel like I’m going to choke to death.

This will lower your blood pressure
you clap your hands nine times in front of your body, then use your right hand to cup the inside of your left elbow nine times, the left hand to cup the inside of your right elbow nine times, and then the right hand to cup your left armpit nine times and vice versa. This is supposed to be repeated nine times with hands cupped so the “vibrations can help open up the channels.”

User, did you hear anything about a teddy bear wrapped in human skin found at a gas station in CA? Holy fuckity fuck if true.
RE: The 2025 Trivial Drivel Thread - BigMark - 07-14-2025
teddy bear wrapped in human skin was my stage name!

I just tried that. I don’t doubt it’s helpful (certainly didn’t hurt) but I wish I had a picture of my dog’s expression (especially when I was clapping). Pure…”WTF are you doing right now?”. But I feel a little more chill for whatever reason for going through the process. Interesting!

Not yet and refusing to search for it.
Ughhh! But I don’t doubt anything.

When I was in 2nd grade my teacher Mrs. Conway would reward us for being good by having us swing dance and do the Hokey Pokey on Fridays. We had to move all of the desks to the side and the boys had to pick a girl partner. One day on the playground we all decided to be bad so that crazy old bitch wouldn’t make us do it anymore.

It resets the vagus nerve.

Don't forget to reset the vaginus and penus nerves.

I was walking around with visible camel toe today and didn't realize it.
RE: The 2025 Trivial Drivel Thread - MirahM - 07-15-2025
I had to pack this morning for a trip to the city. I didn't feel like getting dressed at all. I should have worn a skirt like I originally planned, but put on some calf length workout pants instead and a T-shirt I wouldn't normally wear. It was actually chilly in the morning so I had a little anger shirt on top. Oh well.

I rallied enough to join my husband at his all expenses paid business award trip. Don’t know if I’ll stay after tomorrow. Anyway they announced that next year’s trip is to the 4 Seasons in Lisbon?
I don’t know what I think about that, lol.
