Dobie,

My prayers are with you also. Think happy thoughts. I know that sounds silly but it sure does help me...........Get Well Soon.

Thanks everyone for the warm thoughts. I've purchased the blood pressure machine - it's hovering around 145/95 - still high, but much better then it was.

I've joined the local gym. Actually, our town is so small that it doesn't have a real gym, but one of the local motels has memberships to use their pool and exercise room - I'm hoping to be able to lower the BP with some weight loss and exercise. I'm not going to start to go until after my next PCP app't and she tells me what I can do.

Sounds like your on the right track. Good luck at your next appointment.
God Bless.

When do you see your PCP? I don't like the blood pressure at 145/95! I know that you know it is too high, but I hope you see your PCP soon, so that he/she can adjust your meds.

Keep a record for him/her and take it with you on your next visit.

I'm seeing the PCP tonight at 6:30, I don't know if the med is going to be changed or the dose changed. I'm hoping that they'll be able to adjust the meds to a level where my blood pressure is at an ok level. I'll keep you updated.

About an hour after my last post, my blood pressure went really high again and I got really dizzy. I called my PCP to see if I could come in early, she wanted me to go to the ER by ambulance. One of the woman that I've gotten to be friends with at work traveled with me until Jim could get there.

I was there for about 4 hours, they gave me something by IV, increased my Lisinopril, and I'm on a heart monitor for the next 24 hours - I go back tomorrow to have it taken off.

I'm really scared guys, I feel like I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing, but the blood pressure keeps creeping up.
At least work is being very good about it. I had only been back for a day when this happened and when I told my boss that I'd be out for a couple of more, she said that they wanted me well and not to push it - I had been afraid that since I have only been there a couple of months that my job might be in jeopardy. At least I don't have to worry about that.

I really believe in the power of prayer, and I'd appreciate you keeping me in yours while the doctors try to get me healthy again.
