Hi doctor,
I am a 25 year old male, who weighs 245 lbs and 6 feet tall. I work at a prison, which is a state job. A month ago, I looked up casually after walking away from some of my coworkers to some other ones and everything was spinning, and I could not walk straight. They had to walk me down to the clinic and my blood pressure was 178/112 mmHg. High blood pressure runs on my dad's side of the family, my dad has it, some of his uncles have had it. Some of his uncles have even had heart attacks and other heart problems. I am also in the national guard, so though I may be obese to a scale, I am very active, especially, whenever I am at work. I work on the yard controlling inmate movement. Naturally, they had me do a stress test this past week. My doctor referred me to a cardiologist, whose assistant told me to redo my tests. What are the chances of them finding something? Also, I do not drink daily, but I have had moments of blacking out because of the amount.
