Heart of an athlete

[sfa]

Are you on the pill? That can definitely cause raised BP with no other risk factors and despite exercise. If so, maybe consider another method of b.c.

That's good information to know, but no, I'm not on the pill.

I feel like I went from a young, vital woman (o.k., not young, I'm 42) to an old woman over the course of a 45 minute appointment. The doctor also says my hand pain is probably arthritis and I should get a full body check from a dermatologist.
