no see...........Allen!

I have the opposite effect with my Blood Pressure. Only they never believe me. When I had that major back surgery a year ago last November, it was done on Wed. By Saturday they refused to give me any pain meds period because my BP was so low. It was something like ummmm 85'/60 or a bit lower. I was in so much pain I couldn't even move. Not only from my feet burning, but the incision & not being able to hardly move anyway without help. They said my BP would go lower & I kept telling them it would go back up if they gave me pain meds. I realize that most of the time when people are in pain their BP goes sky high. BUT my body does not react to alot of meds like it is suppose to do. My body wants to react the exact opposite of normal. BUT of course I know nothing about how my body reacts to different swituations. So I called my hubby who was at home & told him to get up, get dressed & get his behind down to the hospital but make sure you bring my pain meds with you cause they won't give me anything & I told him why but he knows by now too I react different than most people do to meds etc etc etc.

About 30 minutes after I took my pain meds after my honey buzzed down to the hospital, which btw took about an hour cause of how far we live from Sacramento, my BP was back around 105/75. Before the surgery my BP was usually high & I was on BP meds. After surgery I have never taken high BP meds since. I even went to a heart specialist clinic to make sure all was A-Okay with me. It was & he said sometimes people just up & change & never have to take them again. To this day though, when in extreme pain my BP is lower than when I am in my normal pain mode.

Good you had yourself checked out. You do need to take care of yourself & your BP. It can kill if too high. And yours was WAY HIGH kiddo.

Take care,
