  i went to a polyclinic for blood pressure and cholestrol test.
  
  the doctor said, "150 but inconclusive. come back again 2 weeks later"
  
  i asked, "what about the cholestrol check?"
  
  doctor said, "can only be done with an empty stomach. come back tomorrow."
  
  thats it. i was charged $8.70 for the "consultation".

  If you dun think the charge is justified, den fun pay lor. It's only $8.70. What do you think the clinic will do?

  Means no more salty food, no food high in cholesterol, anyways take care, normal should be 120-80. Higher means you at risk of stroke, means you could be lying on your bed all day without mobility.
