Didn't go to the doctor. I just sort of popped medicine and hoped for the best. And whilst the "best" isn't exactly great I am still not dead. Not dead is good. Not dead is great. Not dead is satisfactory. :)

And right now I am willing to settle on not dead. I'll visit the doctor after I am done with my current projects at work so that I can take a decent day off without having the deadline hanging over me.

In hindsight the deadlines might just be the reason why my BP is spiking...
