I'm no spring chicken [View all]

but I historically had low normal blood pressure until 2018, when it hit the high range and I had to go on blood pressure medication. Naturally, I blamed it on Trump. Recently, however, I began experiencing an unpleasant symptom that was possibly a side effect of the medication. I was instructed to stop taking it for two weeks, record my blood pressure readings daily (which I know how do, and do much better than it’s done at my clinic), and to schedule an in person doctor’s appointment. Now, after more than a week of readings, my blood pressure is back in the low normal range and I have to wonder if my body knows something that my conscious mind does not.

Dare I hope that our 8 year national nightmare may soon FINALLY be over?
