Blood pressure: Yes you want to know your average blood pressure . Our blood pressure is made to go very high under certain circumstances of distress, fear , anger . If your monitoring your blood pressure keep a journal of what you think caused it to go high. Some people are very sensitive to coffee and other foods. Being sensitive to the cold can send your blood pressure very high.
