to the doc's I go

[Dream]

So..I started monitoring my blood pressure again, and yeah, its not so good, but, its not horrid either. Bu I have to go see my doctor on Wednesday afternoon.... 163/112 is just too high for me

[Fishy!]

good luck darlin! I hope you can get it down to what it needs to be

[Ariakas]

wishing you the best of luck with this

[Sidona]

yikes! My doc nearly had a fit when my bp was like that...then she went into overdrive to get it down.

Here's hoping that You get this fixed asap!

-leaves a hug for you-..

[RAGNAR]

Get'er done!!!     

[Mercilayne]

Hope your appointment goes well today and they manage to get it under control.

[Hippie]

I hope they get it under control for you. High b/p is not a good thing.

[Dream]

ok, so, I'm trying to figure this out and understand it.

At the doc's office, they did 8 bp readings....5 with their machine, 1 with my machine, then the doc did one the old fashion way with me sitting, then one with me standing......

My blood pressure was absolutely text book perfectly NORMAL

So, why it was so high here at home? We don't know. but, I have to keep monitoring it, plus go for damn blood tests tomorrow (2 of them ..one in the morning and one late afternoon)

[Ariakas]

well that's good that it was normal!

Too much coffee and not enough sleep the day before.

egads Man .. don't take away My coffee!!!!!

-thinks Master Ubar might be right-

Mistress, as hard as it is to give up...sometimes coffee, no matter how yummy, it's just not worth it. a few years ago i had what i thought was a really good panic attack. turns out it was a very mild heart attack. one of the things i needed to give up was caffine. i thought i was slick and went from drinking ALOT of mt.dew a day to coffee. for a few years i was able to get away with this...untill i recently developed an ulcer. needless to say, now days i'm no longer having caffine on a regular basis, and now i've lost the ability to eat chocolate and spicey foods. so...while i know the right diet to keep your bp down in the normal range, well, it sucks...it is far better to be able to cut back and become healthy and still be able to enjoy the favorite things for treats instead of not being able to have them at all.

Does this mean no fudge for you at the gathering, lure? ~pouts a little~

I am so glad that your bp was back down to normal!  And I hate Doctors and shit that fluctuates like that.  When I was pregnant.. I drank a bunch of apple juice before an early morning appointment (so I could pee in their cup), they were really worried about my blood sugar that morning now (even though I told them I had drank a bunch of apple juice) and ended up spending four hours in the waiting room for gestational diabetes blood testing.  Yay!  Stupid.  But I am so glad that it was normal when you went to the Doctors, just keep watching it!
