My blood pressure has been very high lately and I am totally scared. So, mom and I came to Ankara today to get it checked out by my cardiologist. This morning was the first time it has been normal. I hope it is just a matter of changing meds.
Wish me luck.
oh, thats no good, I hope you feel better soon. I wonder if the recent workplace stress has contributed to it being high.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am sure stress is a factor.
DeleteI am on medication for High BP myself so I know how scary it can be. My meds have had to be adjusted occasionally and about 18 months ago they added a water pill (diuretic). Sometimes these work and sometimes they don't - I was lucky as my BP dropped back to normal within a couple of days. Have they suggested this at all? Good luck - try not to stress too much.
ReplyDeleteHi Margie, she changed my meds too. Hopefully, the new meds will help.
DeleteChanging meds worked for me. It did take a couple tries. Work stress may be a factor? I know it is scary! Good that you know and are taking care of it.

Hopefully new meds she prescribed today will help me too.
DeleteMy blood pressure was higher than usual, so I quit drinking caffeine before I went to the doctor. Then, more lately, my bp was up sometimes. When I quit taking pseudoephedrine before getting bp taken, it measured a lot lower. Hopefully, your elevated bp is just a med.

Thanks Linda. Will see if the new meds will work
DeleteI have never taken bp meds and hope never to by being careful. Of course, I know being careful does not work for some people.
DeleteGlad you went and got it checked out. Hopefully it's managed and you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh, how scary! Hope the new meds work and you are feeling better soon xx
