[QUOTE="torrential, post: 33515, member: 2752"] It's only natural to react with concern but I'll echo and add to the advice above: Don't panic just because one test showed something just outside of normal. I just went through a similar scare, with initial results that were painted as "significant," a la dropping dead was suddenly a very real possibility. I went through a full round of additional tests including nuclear stress echocardiogram. The looks on the tech's faces while I was on the treadmill really scared me. Guess what? All good. Heart strong, so signs of wear whatsoever, 90th percentile for my age group. Nevermind! Bloodletting: how often do you donate? I shoot for the minimum interval. Couple months back I missed one and within a month my BP and hematocrit shot way up. May or not be directly related but it did drop down immediately after the draw. Some guys here go religiously every 56 days. BP is called the silent killer for a reason. No symptoms and incremental damage that you really don't want. Easy to fix, also, but you have to be aware of it. [/QUOTE]
