My obese mother is now going to the emergency room for high BP Earlier I made a thread about people here who have obese parents they can't stand (https://voat.co/v/fatpeoplehate/comments/499866) and now my mom's self-destructive behavior has caught up to her. I received a call that she has just now been checked into the emergency room because when she went for a doctor visit they told her that her blood pressure is so abnormally high that she could very well have a heart attack at any minute. She's had naturally low blood pressure for most of her life, but after years of eating like crap and being an angry person it seems her heart is finally going to give out. I can't believe she actually sounded shocked on the phone. She even said to me "I guess I can't go to fast food anymore or eat salty things. And I guess I have to exercise." No shit. You're 5'0 and 215 lbs and you just now figured it out while you're about to die?  Fucking Christ.
