His High Blood Pressure is going to kill ME

So yesterday my wonderful husband hauled wheat to Pompeys Pillar (I know, we wait until the price goes completely to crap and then we sell it) Anyhow on the way back he stopped by walmart to pick up a few things. He stopped by the Blood Pressure chair thingy they have there and his Blood Pressure was a touch high, just a touch not yet to Hypertension or anything like that! But Harold being the big fat Hypocondriac he is, gets home hauls in like 5 or 6 5 gallon jugs of water, checks his blood pressure again and of course it is even higher! So this gets his very parpanoid mind a workin, and he starts "researching" High Blood Pressure online. (never a good idea for a hypocondriac)! He does stumble onto the Prilosec (for indegestion, which he takes every other day) site, and it says right there in Big letters that it may cause High Blood Pressure, Heart Palpatations and something else... oh yeah anal seepage LOL I am totally kidding on that last part.
So to the point of this story he calls me at work just convinced that the makers of Prilosec are on a mission to give him High B.P and he just knows he is gonna die. So he does what any rational person would do he decides to stop taking it! A OK. So now he checks his Blood Pressure at least once an hour and it is all over the place of course after working outside, after taking a nap, or wrestling with MaKenzie, IT IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT! All in all it is averaging on the High side of NORMAL. So what does he do he goes through every type of food we have and checks sodium levels on everything and decides we won't buy this stuff anymore.
So I get home from work this morning and he makes me check my Blood Pressure (I always run on the very low side of Normal) and i did again today only today it is quite a bit lower than my normal B.P. within reason of Normal. So I did tell him since mine is so low, if I gave up all the salt, the smoking, and all the fun stuff I might just Die cause then my B.P would drop drasticly. LOL. I CAN find the bright side of any situation!!!
