- since we cannot convince you to see a doctor now, if you suddenly feel like crap in the middle of the night, do not wait until morning. -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 21:19 3
  - I promise if it keeps up, I'll go to the hospital. Mama won't let me off easy... -- nm - BAD Jan 14, 21:24 2
    - you know ... since you are never sick really ... if it were me ... I would want to find out what's going on - 'cause it's so unusual you know? good - JenBro Jan 14, 21:27

        this is a good idea. also, many pharmacies (maybe walmart?) offer free BP screening. however, this is NOT a substitute for seeing a doc. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 21:53 1
        
        drugstores have a DIY machine, firemen are EMS trained and are first responders when someone's having a major event, so they have a lot more face time - zeitgeist Jan 14, 22:39
