I had a cardiac ultrasound and received the results last week, Apparently is not properly releasing. It contracts and then does not fully release. My doctor said to not be overly concerned, but it can cause hardening around the heart leading to congestive heart failure. She said that would be years.

I am still on the same medication and my BP and pulse are still elevated, not as bad, but still in high range. We are giving it 2 more weeks. Then she may change or adjust.

I'm going to talk to my PMD next month regarding anxiety and stress possibly being the cause and if we can add an anxiety medicine to my daily medications.

I'm on a low fat, low sodium diet now. I'm a junk food junky and missing my sweets! I've ate more vegetables and fruit in the last few weeks than I've eaten in the last year... lol
