Thanks, I do have a history of high blood pressure, and should check it soon. I don't have any of the others, and felt fine doing a 5 mile hike in the hills and hot sun yesterday. It is not debilitating at all. Neck is also not as stiff and sore as it was two days ago.
Just took my blood pressue, right arm 143/80 left arm 133/78. Also my caffeine intake has probably been greater lately along with more stress and anxiety.
I do take a baby aspirn once a day and several supplements. I have been taking the same regiment for about 2 years.
