The Pressure is Building

I am at a specialist's office with some ongoing issues with my body.

Doc: So how are you today?

Me: (In my head-*If I was feeling great I wouldn't be here sitting with you*). I am good thanks.

Doc: So then what brings you here?

Me: ( In my head- *Ah!--good question*) and *Gotcha looks from the doc*.
I've not been feeling well blah blah blah...

Doc: Your blood pressure readings don't look good. It is pretty high for your age.

Me: Oh yea..I noticed (In my head- *Right, as if I needed more pressures in life. Your stupid machine is broken .That's what it is.*)

Doc: I would categorize you as borderline hypertension. You may want to fix up regular appointments with your family physician for more routine check ups and monitor yr BP.

Me: (In my head- *yea as if I have all the time in the world and thanks for the fancy title*). Ok..will do and a smiley face :).

Doc: I would also recommend reducing your sodium intake and exercising more. I am not prescribing any medication for now--but check with your family physician.

Me: (In my head* What! Indian food without salt! Imagine sambar without salt! ugh! And did you say exercise?! and now way I am going to be popping pills!!*).
Yes..ok. I do want to get back to a more regular exercise routine blah blah blah...

(PS: Actually I don't mind the exercise part. I wish I could be more regular with it. I genuinely feel good after a work out. Just need to get off my lazy bum and get moving!)

Much later......

Doc: Ok guys..nice seeing you today and looking forward to seeing you guys soon.

Me : (In my head * How can you say something like that!!*)
Yep--bye..thanks! and see ya...another smiley face :)

So here I am, in my 30s, a borderline hypertension-ist (just made up the word). How boring a profile is that?!!
