Totally freakin out or should I be?
I went to the doctor last night after work and got yelled at by my pcp for not going to the hospital last week. My blood pressure was 150/120 last night. Blood pressure is totally out of control and doc diagnosed me with have already having
2 TIA's(mini strokes). The first one was when I had my car accident in February of this year. The first reading was 160/140 taken by the nurse. He put me through test and told me I was lucky. When I told him I wasn't sure if it was a TIA or panic attack he looked at me over his glasses and told me that panic attacks don't keep you from forming words.
He has now ordered an MRI and MRA and increased my blood pressure meds yet again.
He asked me what happened after it passed and I told him I got extreemly tired and a headache and went to bed. He told me I was luck I woke up.
I was totally freaking out when I saw how high my blood pressure was and that I have been diagnosed as already having 2 TIA's.
I go back to the dr once I get the testing done and as he says "we will talk" . The worst case scenario right now he says is it gives me more amunition on the medical necessity of the wls.
Dr ordered me to go to hospital with out delay if/when it happens again. Of course I hope it doesn't .
Doctor even ran the thought of seizures through his mind but says all tell tail signs were of TIA.
I am to be taking bp daily in the morning and evening. This morning it was 122/72 which is much better.
I have no restrictions put on me so I am continuing my daily routine. I an already at work,lol 2 hrs early because I have dinner plans with a group of friends afterwork and Zell needed the truck today. I was going to go to the gym last night after work but Zell decided that a walk around the trailer park would be better for me.
after I told him what the dr said I began to cry and he wanted to know why. I told him I was scared and he smiled at me and asked me of what. The first thing from my mouth was that he wouldn't want me because of all of the medical issues of late. I know of a few people in our social circle that broke up because one had medical issues and the other didn't want to deal them. I was afraid of being "thrown away" like I have been before. Zells response was " we have worked through other things and we will work through this, one step at a time."
Sorry for being a bit "sappy"
I will be posting off an on most of the day I imagine

Wow!! Lori, I bet you WERE freaking out!! I would be, too, but now it sounds as if you know what to look for and what to do and it sounds like your PCP is on the job. Just take care of yourself, okay?
And I'll echo what Sylvie said - that Zell is da bomb!!!!! You are one lucky lady!!!
Remember, I'm in Middle River if you need anything!!

I just want to say thank you to everyone for the positive support. And yes Zell is a wonderful man and takes very good care of me. just ask Ren, lol. Zell has helped me come a long way since we have been together and I would not trade him for any other. Interestingly, You all say he is a keeper, and he is. He has said that since day 1 about me too. lol
again thanks for all of the positive support.
again thanks for all of the positive support.
OMG Lori, Thank God that you finally got seen. Your doctor is right you are lucky you woke up!
I was a paramedic years ago and that is why I said it seemed like a TIA or something neurological and to go see your doc before Tuesday. I will definitely continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers so that this doesn't happen again. Please make sure to seek medical help immediately i it does.
Your Zell is definitely a keeper. He is such a sweetheart!

Lori, Please watch your health, remember your goal is to get approved and have WLS, you have to be healthy and strong enough to have surgery. It sounds like you hit the jackpot with Zells. He seems to be a kind and understanding man. So please watch your blood pressure and stay well. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Leslie:)
