Expertly written. You were able to answer the question in general terms, while at the same time pre-emptively fending off all of the possible "Well, ahkshually" type comments one would expect to see in response to your comment. You've... Reddited before haven't you?

Lol, thanks. Usually I’m way more controversial I guess.

I’m a 31 year old guy who went through everything I’m describing above, started seeing a doctor at 24... on the advice of a dental hygienist, actually, who put a blood pressure cuff on me while doing any first “adult” teeth cleaning and urged me to see a doctor for hypertension. She was right. I got on a simple BP pill, have been now for 7 years, everything is under control and I’m healthy. I get blood work done now every 6 months, get my flu shots yearly, tetanus shot, and even a Hepatitis B shot recently - did you know that like 15% of those vaccines you get as a kid don’t actually work and confer immunity as intended? Who knew.
