50 last week, managed to keel over on my birthday, went to be checked out my the doctor who informs me that I have High Blood Pressure (the faint probably wasn’t connected) it looks to be a hereditary thing , its unlikely that I can change my lifestyle as to be honest I don’t do owt unless it’s reasonably healthy, so potentially I’m looking at medication after my two week stint of self monitoring, anyone else been in the same boat? Does the medication have any negative side effects (on running) obviously if required I’ll need to take something as the side effects of not medicating are significantly more serious!!
