Ok, something strange just happened that worries me...
I was at the grocery store and decided to get my blood pressure checked with the little machine and it was 160/something. That is really high, higher than the FAA will allow as far as I know, even for a 3rd class.
I'm 24, 6'1 175 and in decent shape (IE not overweight). I workout a little, don't eat all that well (but not horribly - about the only fast food i have is quiznos and chick fil a), but what the heck?
The machine did squeeze the crap out of my arm (it actually feels a little "dead" now - like I've been lifting a lot of weights). I hope it was messed up, but its got me worried now.
Right now I have a 3rd class (2.5 years old), and getting it was probably the last time i've my BP checked, and the guy didn't mention my BP as being high or high-normal, so I assume it was fine then...
