headache
I am at the uni library to write an essay for one of my subjects. I am telling my self that it is only 1000 words, easy to knock over.
My head is aching through. I have a headache – the kind that makes you wince, tense up your neck and squint your eyes. It is making me nauseous.
It’s my own fault though. I went off my blood pressure tablets a few months ago and have just started taking them again after getting a reading of 150/100 the other night. So I filled my script and took a tablet last night. This medication works by dilating the blood vessels, which has the side effect of a headache. Ironically, one of the warning signs of high blood pressure is a headache, so I can’t win!
I feel silly for stopping my tablets. If I were my friend I’d have some stern words to say to myself!
Anyway, I should be making the most of my time in a quiet library!
