high blood pressure
my girl friend just went to the doctor, they took her blood pressure and it was 210 over 110. she is 53 and is all ready on procardia. they toke it four times and it stayed that high. they just gave her a scrpit for linsinaprel and sent her home, was that the right thing to do.
i have similar problem. 58, overweight and have had HBP since teens and through 20 years military. controlled for the past 10 years with 10mg lisinopril. had thyroidectomy and RAI Apr-Jun and now on 275mcg Synthroid. have lost 20+ pounds since July, but my BP which had been running 140/80 or so, as of Mon was 180/100. Sat for an hour to see it would go down. got to 170/98 and doc said not critical but to get monitor and increased lisinopril to 20mg. checked 3 times yesterday 151/86, 177/93, 170/91. today 177/89. know i have stress and working to control, but have tingling, cralwy feeling on scalp, forehead, nose, ears. been to neuro and ok. so must be BP related or something. what could be raising my BP now after being controlled with meds for so long.
