ME: I drink a mug of broth about once a day
DOC: Yikes. Broth has too much sodium. You'll raise your blood pressure
ME: That's the point. My blood pressure is low
DOC: *takes bp* ...wow. I...could prescribe something to raise your blood pressure
ME: *points at broth*

This summer in NYC, I fainted in the middle of a 500 person junk swap because I'd gone for a run and I guess hadn't fully rehydrated. THAT's how close to the line my bp runs.
Then when they took me to the ER, where my poor mother had to come visit me thinking I might've DIED /1

they wouldn't let me leave until my bp & hr returned to "normal." Except my usual 106/60ish and 48 doesn't hit "normal".
I had to wait until nurses weren't looking, have my mother shield me, and do jumping jacks so they'd let me leave.
That's why I started the broth thing.

Do you have any idea how much of an ass it makes you feel like when your MOTHER, who is herself facing questions about her mortality, has to WATCH YOU FAINT, then come FIND YOU at the hospital, then AID you in hacking your way OUT of the hospital?
