Thanks very much for your kind words and thank you for seeming to care about my health even though you don't know me. That truly means a lot to me. I'll let you all know what comes from this. They said they should have my blood test results by the end of this week.
Something odd did occur to them today though. They took my blood pressure (3 times actually)and it was 146/96. I'm not too familiar with blood pressure numbers, but they said that's a little high. They said a 24 year old man shouldn't have those kind of numbers. Does that mean anything significant?

If you are under stress, it can raise your bp significantly. It is supposed to be 120/80, and if the top number gets above about 170, you have to go to the emergency room. That should give you a kind of scale

But I'd cut back on salt for awhile if you can, to try and lower it.
