Babe, I've been thinking about you, and I think you have hypertension. Head aches, and nosebleeds are some of the only signs that people have.

It's called a silent killer for a reason, there usually aren't any symptoms. Or the symptoms are so vague, that people just don't catch it.

And between, race, work, home and all other stresses, I really think you need to get checked stat. You can go to many pharmacies and they have a blood pressure machine and will check your pressure for free.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO THIS AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. Any thing over 120/90 and you need to go to the Dr. The higher over those numbers, the faster you need to go.

Ok Babe? Please, PROMISE ME?????

You are Good.

It's not confirmed, but I do have Hypertension. And the kicker, it didn't come from my stress, I got it from my father. My last 3 visits to the Dr and ER had my BP at an averave of 180/110. Granted I was in extreme pain in all of those visits and that is what prob raised them, but the pain didn't do it alone. I am taking steps to fix it without meds. when i changed my diet for my Gout, I also eliminated all used of table salt from my diet completely. it's a start, and hopefully it will do enough. next visit is next month. I will keep you posted as to the results. Thank you for taking the time to notice things that even my wife, who has been with me for 15 years, could not see.

Ok, I believe you. My next appointment is in August. I will have them put me on a med for hypertension.
And believe me, I'm not mad in the least. thank you. You have just started reading my journal and you have jumped in and realized a lot of what's going on. And you are trying to help and you give a damn. That means a lot to me. Again, thank you.

Oh, I am so relieved to hear that. In the mean time, do you think you could go to like a walmart, and use one of their automatic blood pressure machines and just check it? You really need to keep an eye on this.

And once your blood pressure is under controll you will feel so much better, I promise babe.

I probably should be sleeping, but I'm here, haunting the internet! LOL Hey, actually you are the one who should be getting some rest. And really do check your blood pressure, I don't care how you do it, just get it done babe, it's serious. And it's something, that's pretty easily corrected.
