I feel lousy and tired. I just took my blood pressure with the cuff and it was high.
I just started taking olive leaf extract. My old friend Flora called yesterday and said she was a grandmother and her daughter was in labor for 36 hours. the doctor had to use some sort of head cap to suction him out.lat night I dreamt I needed an antidepressant. I am very scared of a heart attack or stroke or death.
it just went down a lot lower

i just called the doctor to see if he had a cancellation for an earlier appt and they said no. I have been off depakote for a few weeks but one of the side effects is high blood pressure.

Bobby

I don't think the depakote would still be effecting blood pressure.
Especially if it didn't while you were on it.

I think I'd stop taking it more than once a day. Maybe take it
after being up for a few hours, after drinking some of the teas
that are supposed to help it. Also it could be the cuff or the
device you have.
Also if at all possible take your device with you on Friday and
have them check it to see if its working correctly.

when i had it taken at the walk in clinic one of the readings was the same.

Thank you for going to the walk-in clinic, Bobby. You did the right thing. I'm glad that you are okay :hug::hug::hug:
I'm happy that the doctor took the time to give you a list of new pdocs. Maybe you can look them up when you have time, and see if any of them looks promising?

Donna is right, I'm positive your current BP problems are not due to the Depakote since you've been off of it for so long.
I would take your BP once in the morning as she recommended.
But I would take it once more in the evening just because it's been so high.

My grandmother had the same issues you are having with her blood pressure- anxiety included. I got her PCP to prescribe her a low dose of Klonopin. She would take her BP too often, many times after she was worked up, or had been active. And we had a fierce battle over the wrist cuff monitor, which I won with the help of her doctor. Boy, was she stubborn, but fortunately, I have her blood running through my veins, so I'm stubborn, too :D

I can't remember if you measured your arm before you purchased the arm cuff? I know that I need a small adult/child's cuff for an accurate reading right now because I lost so much weight (my arms are skinny as hell). Some people need bigger cuffs to get an accurate reading.
If you do need a different cuff, you can just order one that's compatible with your machine rather than buying the whole thing again.

I'm sorry that you are feeling so tired and shitty. You haven't been feeling well for a while now. I hope that you will talk to your PCP about your stomach pain and fatigue at your appointment.

I can't believe that you didn't go to the BR after drinking a whole bottle of mag. citrate. But that stuff just sits there if you don't go, so it probably helped the Philips caps work. Having a colonoscopy is a good idea. I have had 2, and they aren't bad. There is no pain, and you don't remember anything. The prep can be tough, but the gastro will usually do what they can to make it as easy on you as possible. They can order it in more than one way :hug::hug::hug:

I think you will be okay until Friday, but if you start getting crazy high readings again, please go back to the walk-in. If you start having chest pain or shortness of breath, call 911 or get to the ER ASAP (((HUGS)))

I have been off the depakote for a month. It made me feel so lousy and tired and gave me stomach troubles. then I didn't take my bp. the cuff fits. I can't deal right now with finding a new psychiatrist. I still think I will spend the money and go back to my old one. I still have a lot of klonopin but I haven't yet taken it at night

it was better this tme185 89 86

Yes Kay

I really meant to take it once in the morning or day and then
if really wanting once at night.

If its going to stay high if it was me I'd be at the doctor's before
taking it again during the day, only in my case because I have
such a hard time getting it to take correctly.

Sometimes they even have to take it three times to get a reading
in a doctor's office. Not that they do or you do Bobby, that is
just me. And one of my problems.

And now that I can only take it in one arm. I can't take it till
my arm is better.

Are you keeping a chart/journal to document your bp's readings?
I would try to just take the 2 readings am and pm and make 2 columns.
sorry you are having so much problems with your b/p.
(((((HUGS)))))

I am not. I am hoping the doctor will add to my blood pressure medicine and help solve the problem. I am extremely depressed and it has become hard for me to leave my bed. I can't wait to fall asleep. I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I had to go back to work and I didn't know how to find a job.then I dreamed about my dead uncle and hugged him. I also dreamed of a cousin who I only saw once when we were young/./*-*it is 168 100 80. I am only having one cup of coffee. I drink a lot of seltzer. I just read that it causes gas and I keep on having a lot of gas. The doctor said to drink a lot of water. So I just ordered bottles of spring water. I miss the coffee. I just started taking 2mg of klonopin at night. i take 2m now in the morning. I am not going back to that psychiatrist.
151 88 75. Finally my stomach isn't bothering me. 146 83 75. I wonder if her lowering my klonopin so increaed my blood pressure. these numbers are much better.

When the clonazepam effect has stopped, the brain will experience a resurgence of symptoms the drug is designed to mitigate. The user may experience severe anxiety and insomnia, as well as the possibility of seizures, high blood pressure and rapid heart rate.Oct 27, 2016
