It seems like my doctor's office is always chomping at the bit during my annual exam to get me on hypertension drugs despite my normal BP measurements, though.

An aide suggested that I start BP meds a couple years ago when it measured about 110/75! I think they'll pop a bottle of champagne whenever they finally get me on meds of some kind.
