Welcome sadly me.......I know it is tough to find out after many yrs that all of a sudden they say your BP. I too was shocked. Yet, once my meds kicked in, and they found the correct dosage, I started to feel better.

Then I looked back, and said to myself, that was me, I didn't like what I saw.
It is too bad that many have to wait (me in my 40's) to find the correct diagnosis.

I felt labeled. Now I have grown to accept it, and I know I handle things much differently. I hope you too will find that.

This is a great group of people here, understanding, accepting, caring, loving, and you will find a lot of information you need. So keep posting.

Hang in there, things will get better.

Hugs, Nikko
