Hi

The doctor trying to monitor me for low blood. I was given tablets for high blood pressure when I was 28 years old but I'm sleepy and dizzy all the time. They given me blood test and ruled out everything. So they want blood pressure reading for two weeks.

Did you ever resolve your low blood pressure issues. Just checking in to make sure you are ok

Thank you for following up. I havent felt well enough to communicate lately. Im having problems with medication and have had a few falls since ive seen the gp. But before that at the surgery i went in more about being depressed. I said about my bp being low yet it was high while I was there. I explained how it rises and dips and he said not to worry and that i was having panic attacks and changed my medications. I left feeling satisfied he understood my fear of heart problem becsuse of family history and he reassured me i wasnt having a heart attack. I knew i wasn't. However on previous occassions where my bp rose up during severe allergies i thought i was or could be at higher risk at some point. Anyway to conclude since the med change it has been much more cobsistent and i keep a check less often now because i feel calmer and reassured.

How's your health recently. Do you feel your treatment suits you? Hope you are feeling well.

Thank you for letting me know how you are doing. I'm glad your bp is more consistent now. It can be quite alarming to see it rise and fall so dramatically, even if the doctors say it is ok, you know your own body and it sounded like you didn't feel that was ok.

I don't remember exactly what I had said last time, but several weeks ago my blood pressure had been getting higher and higher along with increased anxiety. It ended up being 180/104 while at the doctor ( the highest yet!) I was put on lysinipril and within a few days it went way down. I've now been at a very consistent low reading about 90/65 and am less obsessed as well about taking my bp all the time.

Sounds like we both are doing much better! Thank Goodness!

Sending you many blessing and wishes for continued consistent readings
