Before After

There is a reason for this funk!

And not a good one.

The last several weeks or so I have been feeling absolutely miserable. The last couple of days I have been stressed the max. This morning I was having a gnawing headache w/ lotsa tension in my neck and shoulders.

I decided to have a co-worker check my bp--it was 158/106! WTH? She took it a second time just to be sure it was accurate and it came up the same. Immediately I contacted my drs ofc--fortunately they are right across the street from my ofc.

When I got there it had gone up to 166/108! The nurse said the dr was running a little behind but if I wanted to wait she would be sure to let him know I was waiting.

We figured out it was b/c I was taking two different rxs up until May--one of the happened to suppress my bp (plus, at the time, I was much more active). When we switched to the single rx I lost the benefit of bp suppression.

He mentioned that I seemed to be in a bit of a funk. He said he didn't understand it b/c the last time he saw me, about 6 wks ago, I was bouncing off the walls trying to convince him to come to a ringa class or was it a zombo class. The 3rd year med student who he brought along w/ him started chuckling and said, "would that be a Zumba class"?

He put me back on the second med immediately. I am still feelings a little uncomfortable but at least I know I am not going to keel over unexpectedly.

Do any of you have bp probs? Does it make you wanna choke the sh*t out of co-workers? As if I don't have all this serious grown-up stuff to deal with I have these petty, fake, childish adult women that I work with. Today I finally had enough w/ one that I really considered a very dear friend. Whatever made me think that I would be immune from her backstabbing. Whatever, I need to have positive, uplifting people in my life. Still kinda hurts tho.

That little Kaitlyn Mayer, 4yr old singer on America's Got Talent, is the most adorable little princess. Angela she reminds me of a smaller version of Tatum.

Now that we have gotten to bottom of this health issue I am looking forward to working out again in the very near future. My dr is so wonderful. He reminded me that this is actually a physical ailment.--no more beating myself up for being a lazy sloth.

YIKES!

Glad you found out the problem.  Now we can go forth and be merry, right?

Happy Friday!

Meds

Glad you checked your bp and went to doc. I had borderline hypertension for a while but since I have lost weight its gone away. And yes! It made me feel very tired and irritable and my head felt bloated and I had a lot of headaches. Hope you feel better soon!!!

sounds like

you have an awesome Dr.  My old Dr just wanted to throw more pills at me....he is gone and I have not found a new one (should say I haven't looked).....I'm not taking any meds......and my B/P is better most of the time...it stikes once in awhile....

It always surprises me when grown women ask like teenagers.
