The diagnosis he gave me was basically too much salt. So I stopped using salt and I took the medication that was prescribed and my blood pressure was phenomenal today. So I'm hoping that continues but I feel a lot better after the visit, let's put it that way. So mentally that's a 10, 10, 10. All right, thank you, bye.
