I'm sure it was scary, and it's too bad the EMT's treated you like that. I hope you're feeling better -- take care! Hugs, Lee

You are wonderful for writing back to me I feel very alone right now. My BP med was prescribed "as needed". Up until two weeks ago (as far as I knew) I only got high blood pressure when I was in severe pain from my Ganglioneuritis, so my doctor prescribed the bp med to take when I felt my pain getting severe and thus raising my blood pressure.

But now it seems I may have developed high blood pressure on its own, and yes for the lest few days I have been taking it daily and will do so until I can get into see a doc. Thanks for your response.
hugs and smiles back, Blaine
