    Might not be a bad thing going to see a quack. At least your blood pressure might be under control when you're health insurance renewal comes in the post.:eek:

    I'd imagine they get a number of policy holders with that free test. :D

    Blood pressure is 135/85, BMi is 27, which is a crap way of measuring.
    I'm 15.5 stone, 6foot 1.5 inch not too unfit, a bit more muscle than normal.

    But this ECG thing is worrying.


    Company policy for last 6 years, I pay bik.

    Sure if there's no history of heart disease in your family it's probably something minor.

    It'll do no harm getting it checked out either way. I must organise a health screening myself now you brought the topic up.

    Good Luck hopefully everythings as it should be.
