I took a blood test on Tuesday and got my results online today. My direct bilirubin count was high. I've always had high bilirubin but was told by my doctor years ago not to worry about it. Maybe I should. My red blood cell count was also higher than normal. According to the health boards I've visited, I concluded that best case scenario I have to give blood once a month, worse case scenario, I may have liver damage. Plus I've read that one of the symptoms is high blood pressure. Interesting.

I made an appointment tomorrow morning with LifeSource to donate some blood. Since my red blood cells are high and I'm hoping there's some correlation with that and my elevated BP, I hoping for a noticeable deduction in BP and no elevations. I really hope so.
