Dr visit

Greetings One & All
So, I ACTUALLY went to see the doctor this morning. I say it like that because I know it's been at least 10 years since I've visited one. I've been in pretty good health overall, but recently, my blood pressure has shot through the roof. Many friends & family members have been concerned. To add to my sky rocketing blood pressure, I've added some KILLER migraines. In the last 5 days, I have woke up with one 4 of those days. It really is difficult to function like this. And, yes, I did ask the doctor about that also. He checked me out & seemed to think that on top of my high blood pressure (180/100), I am suffering from allergies. He prescribe some meds for both. And wants me to check & record my BP at least twice a day at random times. I will go back to see him in a month.
I am telling everyone this so that I will be held accountable for what I need to do. Please feel free to ask/remind me whenever about my bp. Checking it & taking my meds.
Thank you all very much.
I love you more than I can say.

Yeah... stress can cause that to spike too (and caffeine). Best to get it down either way - Don't want anything to happen to you.
Stress I've had. I don't have a lot of caffeine, mostly from tea. (I don't like coffee & only have about 1 soda a month.)
*hugs* Of course I will text you!
I agree on Muddy's stress-thought, you had an ugly load of that lately.
I will try to help you remember.
With so many friends you won't ever forget in the next 39 years
Better... we could tickle her
I appreciate your willingness to help. That's one reason I posted the journal. I figure with my friends to help me. I can't go wrong!
And it's cheap. Just about everyone I know who takes medication for HBP take lisinopril. You should be fine.
