People always talking about their blood pressure now???

It seems like people in public everywhere always talking about blood pressure or something related to it. Either theirs or someone they know or something! It drives me nuts! It is so crazy when people do that. I'm always like how are you talkin about that in public don't you know you're supposed to just talk about that when you're in private? Space LOL

Haaaa....

First off. Welcome to ZityBiz. A fantastic site for any and kinksters, fetishists, PlayDocs, PlayPatients, Spanker....Yea...Great site, Cardiophiles for dang sure. I feel you 100%. One, Big Cardio guy here, plus...Really into the BP aspect of anything😃. Terrible White Coat Syndrome.....Ughhh....Not nearly as bad now. Strangely, last couple years, that has improved. Getting older and more visits doesn't hurt for sure....But damn....Makes me nervous as hell people start talking about it. I've gotten up and left the room. Love it. Hate it. Welcome.

What makes discussion of blood pressure something that needs to be done in private? How is that any different from talking about your new car, global warming or the steak you had for dinner the night before?

If you don't like that discussion, you can always leave the group of people having that discussion.

Nobody is forcing you to sit around a bar or group at a barbeque where people are discussing their BP, meds to treat it or anything else for that matter.

More palatable subject then talking about your diarrhea, or colonoscopy prep.

Lol exactly.

The reality these days is that for many people, blood pressure checks, blood tests and scans seem to have routinely taken the place of good old fashioned exams. In most cases I believe this is a change for the better, as I have often wondered whether a full strip exam, as I was used to receiving, yielded much benefit.

What annoys me is when you ask some people, 'how are you?', they drone on endlessly about their medical complaints.

With so many blood pressure measuring devices in just about every pharmacy or large box stores it's no wonder so many people talk about their blood pressure in public. With me it's a fetish kink so l keep it private

There’s a lot more awareness now about knowing and managing your BP. Before I retired BP kiosks were popping up at work, pharmacies and other businesses. Radio and TV ads encouraging people to “Know Your Numbers” appear almost daily. I heard it brought up at numerous neighborhood gatherings and nobody blinked. If casual discussions make more people aware of checking their own BP then that’s a good thing.
