Who Knew?

I had a few uneasy days this week. I was having to drive to the north side of town this week for continuing education for my job. I was terribly frightened when I was driving on the interstate and felt as if I was going to pass out!! For two days I had felt very strange and wasn't sure what it was. I wasn't taking any new medications or had eaten any strange foods. On Thursday I picked Britta up from GSU and told her about how I had been feeling and she joked,"maybe it was all the Good and Plenty's I had been eating". I usually eat these when I am nervous, the commute and the class were causing this. On the way home we stopped and got groceries at Publix and I went in the pharmacy section on Leslies advice and took my blood pressure...WOW it was high. When we got home I took some of my blood pressure medicine and rested. Britta mean while went on line and found that licorice is very bad for blood pressure, so her joke had actually been true. Unfortunately I have to give my Good and Plenty's up because as soon as they were out of my body my blood pressure went back to its normal rate, who knew!!!
