Hypertension issues and headaches

[Bloomwithgrace]

HI emveryone,

My 40 year old son is a cirrhosis patient but recently has been admitted to the hospital with high uncontrolled hypertension. He is also suffering from severe headaches frontal behind the eyes and burning along both sides of his temple area. They haven't been able to find the underlying conditions for why his blood pressure has had a sudden onset of being elevated. He has a mild history of hypertension, but has always been managed by his medications. They have found a very small aneurysm but don't think it is causing the headaches. Has anyone else experienced these problem as a liver disease patient? And are they related to the Cirrhosis due to that condition?

Thanks for your prayers too, as he has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now and likely not to be home for Christmas this year. But grateful that he is being cared for at the hospital as they monitor him.

Could he have sleep apnea?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, they were trying to test him for that, but he wasn't able to sleep at night to do the study yet. Hopefully they will try to do again.

The situation with your son’s health must feel overwhelming for both of you. Praying you have competent doctors who will find the best solution for his health needs. Remember to take care of yourself so you can help take care of him.

Thank you so very much for your prayers! His wife and little 4 year old son are spending their Christmas Eve at the hospital tonight. They are waiting on Santa. I think they are just trying to make the best of the situation and trying to give their family as normal of a Christmas as they can even though they aren't home. it's not what we planned but we are trusting God for guidance.

Is he being treated for hepatic encephalopathy?

[Bloomwithgrace in reply to Str8jacket]

He does have that from time to time and they are aware. But not the issue this time.
