Heart palpitations today

Tweet

Today during 5th period I started feeling "off" and I was afraid I was going to faint or fall off of the stool. It was rough. The feeling continued through to the end of the day. I didn't want to ask the nurse to check my blood pressure because my work BFF did that last week and they wound up calling an ambulance for her. She literally got taken out of school on a stretcher when her blood pressure was like 140/100. No thank you. I could have gone to my employer's health clinic after work but I have 2 hours of tutoring this afternoon that I didn't want to miss. So I decided to come back here to the apartment and take my BP. I figured I would go to the clinic if the number was off the charts high or if I started feeling worse. I took my BP about half an hour ago and it was 152/108. That's definitely not good and it needs to be addressed. When I get finished with tutoring I will call the clinic to see if I can get an appointment for tomorrow after work. I am feeling much better than I was at work. The palpitations have stopped. I'll check the reading again in another hour or so to see if it has come down a bit. If I stroke out before tomorrow, well so be it.
