Yep, checking blood pressure is very important. I hadn't had mine checked in years. When I did it was 210/100. My doctor told me it was not a question of IF I would have a stroke or heart attack but WHEN. I am now on 4 meds and it is down to a normal level. I check it almost every day too and he keeps a close eye on me.

SALT is just EVERYWHERE!!! Even in soda pop so read those labels!!!
