They don't want me coming in for awhile...can ya believe it???? Said they are swamped with flu people and it wouldn't be a good idea for me to go there. I'll figure out something. I had hysterectomy quite some time ago, so I don't think the menopausal thing is it.
Mom is doing great. We are switching machines to see if another one will not have the alarms going off all night.

Uhhh... Janet, that was the wrong response from your doctor. 13? over 91 is TOO HIGH! It can wait a week or so, but the flu will go on all winter and that is too long to wait!!!
Can you take it every day or every few days? If so, take it, keep a log, then call in to your doctor and tell them what it has been running. They can change your meds over the phone if they have a log. You can get a machine at the pharmacy - an automatic machine might cost $25-$35, but it is worth it. I don't want you to have a stroke!! Also, prolonged high blood pressure can cause dementia-like symptoms in the brain. Now, that means really prolonged, like several years of untreated high BP, but still....... None of us need any memory problems!!!

Thanks Gayle...I'm getting one today and will keep a log for a few days. I have to admit...I'm a little worried now so that ought to help the BP...LOL. I know my weight has to play a major role, I wish I could get it off....it's just so hard.

I went and bought a BP machine and took it last night. Although at the moment I can't remember what it was...it was fine. I forgot to write it down, but I'm going to start taking it of a morning and evening and see what's happening. Maybe I was just all worked up....who knows.

You need to keep a record of what it is at home because you can have "white coat syndrome" which is where your BP goes high in the doctor's office. Glen has that.
I went to the doctor yesterday and my BP was 106/? (can't remember the bottom number). The doctor's changing some of my BP meds around. Maybe that's why I've been feeling funny lately.
