The blood pressure-lowering medications was a kick in the crotch. I've had primary hypertension (i.e., doctors have no explanation for why) since I was a teenager playing fifteen hours of tennis a week with a low body fat percentage and healthy eating habits.

Nothing I've ever tried has fixed this, including scratch-cooking everything for months, no meat, no salt, for months. Distance running. Weightlifting. Lots of sleep. I literally don't even have to work the rest of my life and am in my 40s, so no stress, either. I guess I'm just screwed!
