I was recently diagnosed with extreme hypertension. I'm afraid to check after playing! (but now that I've been on meds for a couple of months I'm getting down into the 90's consistently... you don't want to know what it was before!)

Actually, I asked my doctor if playing the trumpet would be hazardous and he replied "only if it's played badly". Score one for him. But what does he know? He plays piano.
