I had a lovely letter from my GP recently, reminding me that I'm now in my 40's and I need to get a NHS checkup as I'm getting old. Yeah, cheers for that.
So I had my checkup and they've asked me to go back in a month because my blood pressure is very high. They may put me on medication to help me lower it, they said. Wasn't too arsed until I googled it and discovered high blood pressure is often called "the silent killer", which is nice.
There's a few old fuckers like me on here - any of you lot had one of these checkups and found something nasty lurking, or anyone else have any experience of high blood pressure?
