    Yup, I used to always donate plasma but eventually they stopped letting me go in because my blood pressure was too high for their standards, I didn’t think too much of it and it stayed that way for years with me feeling fine. One day i went in for my normal med check as you do and they took my blood pressure, it was with a new doctor so I told them “its gonna be pretty high”. Doc took one look at it, then at me, and just said " go to the hospital”
