Hard exercise (biking up a hill), or the activation of forced air cooling/heating cause a clear liquid discharge immediately. Then it goes away for a while. Very strange. My blood pressure typically sits around 137/70. I'm a serious Triathlete and I take my life style, and nutrition very seriously in order to perform my best. Still, I have this blood pressure issue. Very annoying!3/6/2012 at 12:40 AM
