Finally had my doctors appointement today - we have to be checked every 6 months - and everything checked out fine. In fact, it was confirmed that I lost 5 kilo over the past 6 months, and my blood pressure dropped from 17 over 9.5 (which was way too high) to a more acceptable - yet still on the high side - 14 over 9.
I think that if I keep on dropping weight, my bloodpressure should also stabilize at a lower level, possibly even getting back to my 12 over 8 pressure that I used to have for the first 20 or so years of my life.
My blood's off to the lab to run full tests on it, but unless I hear something back everything is fine with it. Mind you, these are normal/regular tests and we all take them. After today I'll also be allowed in the hot zone again - when the job requires it of course - because I lost access to it a couple of days ago due to the constant rescheduling of that doctors appointement.
