People, take care of yourselves, and never forget that your health is everything.

I've forgotten that, and I paid the price by spending the weekend in the hospital for my blood pressure.

Now, I know better....I knew I had high blood pressure for about...well, since '04, so that would be about three years now...and I was monitoring it, taking the meds ( Read more... )

Whew! That was a really close call!

Listen sweetie, you're gonna be on those BP meds for the rest of your life. Get used to the fact right now. No matter what you do with your weight or anything.
also, have someone else monitor your personality very very closely, 'cause those beta blockers, in high enough doses, and it's different for every individual, "can" make you crazy, so if someone close tells you, you are acting crazy, (or doing something irrational) get with your MD and adjust dosage. This is very important!
Do not change or stop or start taking your MEDS until you meet with your doctor and both you agree on a course of action. And for God's sake, when you see you are running low on a med, get it refilled BEFORE you run out!

Take care of yourself Beth, and good luck!!!
We're pulling for 'ya...
