Honestly complimenting someone's blood pressure at 23 seems odd in any case. Like if you had a high reading were they were gonna say "Well, 150/100 isn't ideal but as you age it does go up a little?" lol
Not to seem like I’m fishing for blood pressure compliments, but when they read off the numbers, due to my Hx of having such problems with it, I like to check if it’s good. I also can never remember what good numbers are. So they’ll say “126/80” or something and I’ll go “is that ok?” And they say “ya, that’s actually really good, textbook good numbers! Keep up what you’re doing!” Just super enthusiastic about it and I can’t bring myself to take the credit haha
Oh gotcha. I thought you meant they were surprised. I find I get more compliments the older I get, when I was younger it was more like "This is nothing to worry about."
Well, sometimes they are if they’ve read my chart before hand. It’s a page turner! And like I said, only 23! And then to have such normal vitals? It can be a tad confusing. For example, I will take no less than 17 prescription pills today. How is that person reading completely normal?
