BP Update

In May my blood pressure had spiked back up to the 149/95 and I was told to monitor it for a while.  About 3 weeks ago I started not feeling well and went in to my doctor and my BP had gone all the way to 160/100.  I was kind of depressed because my doctor put me back on bp medication and told me to come back in 3 weeks.  Well I've been taking my medication and also watching my sodium (have to be careful snacking on stuff like Turkey Jerky) and on Monday my BP was down to the lowest its ever been 114/78.   I feel so much better no more headaches.   I am still a little disappointed about having to take BP medication at the age of 29 but if it means I don't have to be so worried about monitoring it all the time I can live with it.


Start 323 ~ Current 199 ~

I'm glad you are feeling better. Now you just have to keep an eye on it getting too low.

So glad you were able to get your BP back in order.

Keep an eye on it...it does tend to go up and down at times.

Hugs, connie d
