Med Q: Why is my face so red??

[mrhtbd]

It's so common now it's too funny to be annoying, but people always ask me, "Why are you so red?"
It must have happened at least 40-50 times now.
I tell them, "I'm from a long line of Red People, don't deny me my red heritage!"

Seriously though, my BP is not always up, I'm not always in the sun, but for some strange reason I am as red-faced as you can get. I don't get it? None of my five brothers have red faces, nor my two sisters, but we all look alike and me especially like my father.

Anyway, what causes medically, would lead to having a perpetual red face?

Maybe you have a condition called Rosacea. Your doctor would be able to tell you for sure. Since you are concerned, get it checked out.

Life is full of people who had concerns about their health and got them checked out. Cemeteries are full of those who didn't.

^^^^LOL! I'm pretty red faced most of the time even when my blood pressure is down. I'm just embarrassed about the light weights I lift.

Willi is right. If your blood pressure is down, you might have it checked. My niacin flushes me and I get a red face for about an hour after taking it.

You said that you have hbp, that could be it.

My face and ears stay red ,cuz Im always angry as hell and my BP soars by the minute rather than the day.

Probably because you're juicing your balls right off and your blood volume is up a tad.
