If you don't qualify for a free flu jab on the NHS, Asda are one of (if not the) cheapest places at £7. If you've ever had flu, and I don't mean a heavy cold, you probably want to protect yourself from getting it again.

Blood Pressure/Pulse Phobia
Hi, Due to a freak panic attack during a colonoscopy and the knock on effect, I developed a massive phobia of having my pulse and BP measured.
