Hey Guys, I just released a new blog post, Low Blood Pressure, Shock, and the First Adult Doctor. For years I struggled with low blood pressure and a high heart rate.

You sit down and hold out your arm for the nurse to take your blood pressure and the number comes back twice as high as it does when you take it at home. What caused that? The stress of the sense memories, or even possibly regular memories of being in a medical setting. That's medical PTSD. Not everyone has the same degree of medical PTSD because not everyone...
