Medication

Some people have an aversion to medication, but I don't. I've been self-medicating since I was fifteen, and not with alcohol.

But now I take Atenolol for high blood pressure and Buspar for anxiety. Usually my blood pressure is around 136/80, which is high.

But last night I felt very sleepy and wondered why. I took my blood pressure and it was 102/70. That's almost dead, people.

I remember going to a cardiologist earlier this year about an episode of arrhythmia and telling him that I'd taken 8 100-milligram Atenolols in a row to ward it off and he said "You're lucky you're not on a pacemaker, my friend."

Cardiologist never lie. I am lucky! Don't know about the pacemaker part.

So I guess I must have taken too many Atenolols yesterday (but I feel as calm as a paper boat bobbing on a sea of glass now!)
