Does lots of water intake increase blood pressure? Has anyone found this to contribute to theirs? I’m a 27 y/o male, not overweight, active, eat relatively healthy, never smoked & no longer drink alcohol. I’ve had a 24hr BP monitor test & my average daytime BP was 155/80. I’m in the middle of testing & discussing with doctors trying to figure the cause but I was wondering if increased water intake can cause high blood pressure? I’m a tradie so I will consistently drink from 3-7 litres of water alone in a day. I have also done bloods and everything has came back normal.

I’m looking at buying a sleeping duck mattress to see if it helps with my partners back pain. I’ve read multiple reviews and there are hardly any negative ones. Are sleeping duck mattresses really that good? If you’ve bought one, do you like it? Did it help with any pains you had previously?

I’m going to need my wisdom teeth surgically removed under GA at some point. Tossing up whether I should take out private health insurance now as I’ll be able to delay through the wait periods or just pay out of pocket? I’ve got a couple of quotes for top hospital + basis extras & it’s about $350 p/m. Has anyone paid for removal under GA completely out of pocket & know the rough cost to compare?
