190 over 130 is bad?

Wacky blood pressure. It turns out my experimental “Fast Food Only” diet of the past 5 years was not as well-designed as I had originally thought. Luckily I’ve ducked hospitalization twice. Nitroglycerin brings the blood pressure down out of the “imminent stroke” range and into the “prolonged suffering preceding the eventual stroke” range with just a raging migraine as the side-effect.

I’ve cut out a ton of sodium that I had been eating (OK, literally 2-3 grams per day) and I hope to be in the “might eventually be healthy” and then the “healthy” range soon. Hopefully last week was my “rock bottom” to be followed by a precipitous improvement.
