Too Much Sodium For High Blood Pressure

So we went out for lunch today – and i came home feeling so lousy. Not that i ate too much – nor unhealthily. I had half a portion of spinach and cheese cannelloni and a ceasar salad – with half a piece of foccacia bread – everything in moderation – like I’ve always said – don’t want to have to go for weight loss program eh. But as soon as i had lunch i felt so lousy – we went home shortly after and I had to lie down for the afternoon. Luckily it was Sunday and Mr Moo had brought Missy Moo out to play in the backyard.
So i figured i should look into my blood sugar but my sugar was normal – thus i’m left here wondering if it is because of too much sodium in my food thus causing my blood pressure to go up and causing my head to feel light headed. You see being diabetic – we only think about our blood sugar but you and I know that being a diabetic comes in a package – and we cannot overlook the fact that our blood pressure may have gone up. I don’t have a blood pressure measurement equipment – thus i cannot tell – but I felt a lot better at nite and by the morning – it was back to normal. I daren’t eat any of the same kind of food no more that’s for sure – coz’ the feeling was horrid. Food or not food – I can live without – coz’ it made me feel so lethargic and i’m looking for a blood pressure measurement equipment – just to protect myself.
