I get to the doctors office and back into the room. The nurse tells me my blood pressure is 151/96 wow! Super high for me. Then the doctor comes in and ask if there are any new developments, so I tell him all that has gone on with me and told him I feel all these things in both my legs and arms and even my face. He then tells me it does not spread. Why?
So I am extremely angry irritable and just wanna scream and cry. Why?
I am tired of my life being upside down. I thought I read that this crappy stuff will sometimes make your blood pressure high. Any one else have this?   Help! |
Im sorry you're going through all the pain you're having. I wanted to tell you about high BP. I have normal BP when I'm at home but every time I go to the doctor it's high just like yours....150's over 90's. The doctor said everyone has high bp when they go to the doctor. Pain doesn't make it any better. Doctors even have a name for it.... White-coat syndrome. You should try to go to one of those stores that have the bp machines like Walmart.
Also, if you're doctor doesn't know that RSD can spread their not to bright. Go on any website and they can read about it. Geesh! that must be frustrating. Like you need any thing more to add to the mix if pain.
Sending good thoughts your way!
