IM A LITTLE CONCERNED. I DO NOT SMOKE. I AM NOT OVER
WEIGHT,AND I GET TONS OF EXERCISE. I DO HOWEVER TAKE TWO
TYPES OF MEDICATIONS: 1 CONCERTA, AND VIOXX. I USUALLY HAVE
TWO CUPS OF COFFEE IN THE AM, AND THAT IT IS FOR THE DAY.
MY LAST READINGS WERE HIGH. 164/101 154/93 172/111 159/114
THE FOUR READINGS WERE TAKEN ABOUT THREE MINUTES APART. I
FEEL GREAT, AND COULD RUN A 10 K TOMORROW AM, OR PLAY 3
SETS OF TENNIS. I'M 60 YEARS OLD, AND THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I HAVE BEEN
TAKING THE MEDICAITONS FOR YEARS.........ANY ADVISE ???
