Stressed out because my blood pressure has been like 150-165 for weeks now (since I started checking it). I started adderall and also a very stressful job last year, and also have a toddler and newborn. I’m 31 years old, 6’2 180lb, but feel like I’m going to die with this high bp and stress!

Go see your doctor. If it's only been a few weeks, then it's probably more environmental. If your blood pressure has always been high and you're just noticing it now, then you better get on meds asap. I've been on BP meds since I was 26 (I'm 41 now) and I can guarantee it saved me from a lot of health issues my father incurred because he didn't control it.

Go to the Doctor. That is pretty high and you may need some blood pressure meds. Good luck.

Wow. A 31 YO SD. I think you need to chill out with your career for a bit. Maybe take a year of low burn work- whatever that means for your career

Your doc should not be letting you anywhere near adderall if your BP is anywhere over about 130/90

You need to be on BP meds

See your doctor, and be sure to take time to be active and exercise - I have to wait until my kids go down. Don’t compromise on your health.

Your BP naturally fluctuates during the day. Take it when you wake up to see where you are. Adderall also increases BP, so might be a sign you need a different med

Hi everyone, I have recently given interviews to Amazon, and all the rounds went well according to me. Is it okay to negotiate salary if Amazon make any offer to me because at a time I don’t have any offer. I’m really conflicted that if I try to negotiate they might take away the offer. Could you sharks help me out with experience because it’s the first time i am switching a company. Thank you in advance for your help.
