To confuse things even more...

I got a call from my doctor's office and my cholesterol test looked good! It's under 200 at 194, and even my triglycerides looked good. So how now brown cow? Why the high blood pressure?

We'll have to wait til tomorrow when I chat with the doctor and have my blood pressure taken once again at 4 pm eastern US time. I'm still planning on requesting a visit with the cardiologist to have a 2nd opinion from a specialist before medicating. I'm still hoping for the stress test. It just makes sense to be thorough!

Stay tuned...
