Ye the cholesterol thruth is starting to surface more and more. Theres not even such a thing as BAD and GOOD cholesterol...theres only ONE cholesterol lol. LDL and HDL are referring to lipo proteins that help shuttle cholesterol where its needed.
High bP can make u feel "off"...or the issue u are having making it rise can certainly make u feel "off".
Think about what the hearts job is.
Why on Gods green earth would (I) want to restrict oxygenated blood to my brain/organs lol !!
If high bp is a "baaaad thing"....we better all stop fuckin, lifting weights, running, etc...ya know.
Anyway good luck man, hope u get it all str8tened out.
