So there was me thinking my blood pressure was going down and the Doctor/Nurse was happy with the way it was going and of course there it goes back up again.
I'm losing weight, I don't smoke, I don't drink all that often and when I do it's been okayed by the Nurse, I don't take salt in food and I'm as active as the average person. Why on earth is my body betraying me!!!!!!! Everyone keeps telling me to relax and not get so stressed about everything but high blood pressure doesn't have anything to do with stress and apart from that I'm not brilliant at relaxing, I'm useless at it.
I'm already on tablets for my blood pressure but it looks like my dosage will be increased next month if it has remained high.
I have been feeling a bit off the past couple of weeks, going very pale not regaining my colour for a while, heart palpitations, dizziness that sort of thing and apparently that was a sign my blood pressure was increasing, so I was having symptoms and not even realising it. At least now I know.
My one concern about this all is that I can't afford for the Doctor to put me on the sick, there's too much to pay out and sick-pay won't cover it, I know because I deal with that in work. Have to try and convince my Doctor that I'm not a danger to myself or anyone as my bp is increasing an awful lot higher than it was at it's highest before the tablets (have been told that in some cases people pass out or have fits). I would go stir crazy in the house anyway, there's only so much housework to be done and so much tv to be watched.
Oh well no point worrying about it until next month, I will find out for certain what's to be done about me but I'm hoping my bp will be down enough for the panic to be over.
