We Quit Cigarettes

The amazing thing about it is that monitoring your blood pressure can help control it just because you are aware of it.

You can have a stroke without having high blood pressure.

True, but detoxing can cause high B/P, which can then cause a stroke. That is my concern for Webby .....
Since she is doing this alone, without a doctor overseeing the process

Very nice to have one at home, can keep you from having a stroke.

Now I’m going to be paranoid I’m going to have a stroke. especially since I’m constantly stressed out

Only 9K

Only you say

I keep telling the Mex he is going to wish he were dead if he has a stroke.
He doesn't listen.

I had a mini stroke. My mind isn't as sharp as it used to be but it isn't bad. I only temporarily lost some motor function. It wasn't a big deal.

The stroke that my paternal grandmother had was a big deal and she did not live through it.

Add diabetes to your paranoid list.
Maybe high cholesterol too.

My dad had a stroke that left him bed ridden.
I'm not dealing with that.

I hope she will be okay.

She will be ok. She's tough.

Yes, that is not any fun. Fortunately for me, if anything serious happens, there is no one around to prevent the ultimate conclusion. I am not going to end up in an old folks home (if I can help it).

already on the list! Probably do have the cholesterol. Was eating tons of Five Guys a week or two ago.

I’ve been better about it though and trying to cook again like before.

Right now the top priority on my paranoid list is Advil overdose.

Especially since I Googled symptoms and I match almost all of them.

Im sure!
