Okay so I went to the doc again today b/c my chest felt like it was about to explode. I go my  blood pressure was 165/127 the doctor was like why did you not come in sooner.  Okay so now to add to my list of medications I now take a blood pressure pill. I am the ONLY idiot that comes to surgery not on anything and leaves surgery on blood pressure pills. I did find out that I have walking pneumonia today which could explain why my chest has been hurting SO bad. I was reading the list of symptoms and I am like DAMN that's me. So now at least we have an idea what could be wrong. My gb ultrasound and upper gi is next monday at 830.


Also I have/had diabetes apparently back in July when they did my blood work it should that I had diabetes but NO one told me. Dr Walton asked me on my 3 month appointment have they gotten better talking about a blank look on your face. ONLY happens to me.

I am so happy you finally got at least a partial diagnosis.  You will feel so much better once the pneumonia is all gone!  Keep on truckin'!

Well, Steph, at least you are on the right track.  I guess you wil the the "star" patient!!!  I'm sure the walking pneumonia isn't helping your chest.  You WILL get through this and be off that medication soon!!!  (((hugs)))

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!

You can't know you are diabetic unless the doctors tell you the results! That is amazing!
Steph, you have been through so much and still remain strong and upbeat. I know that it has not been easy, but you still keep us smiling. Yes, maybe you are on these pills for now, but I feel certain you will be off them as the weight continues to drop. Keep hanging in there. I am anxious to hear about your tests on Monday.
I'm praying for you and that they get to the bottom of all this.

Bless your heart. You'll be feeling so much better soon. Plus, as you take off more weight, your blood pressure issues will resolve, no doubt. I'm praying for you.
Blessings,
Mary

He said the same thing to me about my diabetes.  Only thing is, I never was diagnosed as having diabetes.

I'm sure the stress is not helping your blood pressure.  Dang, I'm sorry all this is happening to you!
