Sounds familiar. I'm sensitive to it because despite cutting back salt, losing weight, and taking up a cardio regime, my blood pressure has been inching up. My physician has identifed work as the main cause. Nobody likes to work, but there are some people for whom work is an active health problem . . . and I'm one of them. I have hypertension, stress, and anxiety issues that mostly stem from work – any work, not just my current job – and that don't emerge in casual or social situations. My doctor thinks I should take weeks and weeks off each year, but I can barely afford two weeks, all told. I think I chose the wrong line of work!
