at first I was told in two days but then I think I was told on Tuesday. I wonder if my cardiologist will raise my blood pressure medicine or maybe find something wrong with my heart. I don't know how to control my spending. I don't want another drug. I will finally try to use by stationary bike today for a few minutes. I have been so out of control I haven''t been helping myself at all. I am so flawed.

You suffer daily....this is not flawed.
You are not flawed.

I feel sorry for your suffering.

Make your blood pressure readings accurate | Health Insurance ...
healthplans.providence.org/.../blood-pressure
Make sure the patient has both feet flat on the floor. This means avoiding taking blood pressure on an exam table, from which a patient's legs will dangle. Dangling one's legs requires muscular activity, which can increase blood pressure. Ask the patient to relax, as much as possible, and make sure he or she isn't talking when you take the reading.

Very interesting. Wonder why the doctors offices don't do
that too.

But I know it really doesn't matter I just know that I can't
seem to get a reading with my feet on the ground.
period.

At my doctors' offices they have you sit in regular chairs to take vitals before you sit on the exam tables now.
It is strange that you can't get a reading with your feet on the ground, Donna. I have never heard of that. What do you do? Take your BP with your legs up on a table/ottoman?

I'm glad that Donna told you to wait until 30minutes to an hour after you take your medication to take your blood pressure. When do you see your cardiologist?

I'm sorry that you are overspending. I try really hard to distract myself when I'm hypo/manic and I start getting strong urges to buy tons of s***. Usually I will clean (but I buy anyway). Maybe you try to go back to your book? IDK. I know it's hard

Love to you today, Bobby (((HUGS)))

i see the cardiologist who I really like tomorrow at 10:20. He is really spiffy. We once talked about coffee and he said when he operates he only drinks espresso so he doesn't have to go during the operation lol. His male assistant is Russian and such a flirt. I love it.
I am reading again and still listening to josh Groban . I am drinking a lot of hibiscus tea starting yesterday. I read that three cups a day lowers blood pressure.

i think the blood pressure medicine is working.

I will be trying to take my blood pressure again soon.

I haven't yet because I can only take on the left
side and with my arm in sling and pain it wasn't
possible.

I woke up so depressed. the antidepressant hasn't kicked in yet. I still haven't gotten my ac yet. Now that I am not taking aleve I am having more trouble walking.The new laxative linesse is working a little. Hard to go but no more diarrhea..
I am reading a book I like. abby loves her fish treats. she has been acting so adorable. Pudge slept with me for a while last night. Last night I took another bath because I am so hot without the ac.
just read that you should take the laxative in the morning and I have been taking it at night.
I think the antidepressant just kicked in

Linzess is supposed to be a very good med. I tried it, but it didn't work for my type of constipation. I'm happy that. it seems to be starting to work for you

I'm glad that it seems like the increase in your BP med is working, too!
I hope that you have a good visit with your cardiologist today. Don't flirt too much!

I really enjoy some of my doctors. My GI is really adorable. He is a flirt, and gets a kick out of me.

If your maintenance man does not get you your AC soon, I would remind him that you are elderly (I'm sorry for calling you that), and cannot tolerate the heat, so they need to get on the ball!!!

It was nice to read about the kitties!
