BP High
 

I can't get my blood pressure to come down to an acceptable number. My eye sight is very blurry on count of it and that makes it hard to be on the computer. It's been a very bad day for me like that.

I think you need to contact your primary. Or to go to the hospital.

A high blood pressure isn't good.

Hi Donna,

I don't have a way to the hospital but do have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow. I took more of my BP medicine and it's come down a little.

Barb

This is good.

I will keep you in my thoughts.

Donna

Thank you Donna.

barbara

don't drink any more fluids tonight....that can increase your blood pressure if you retain fluids at all.
blurred vison is not a good sign.
You have your own cuff?
Could you ask a neighbor to take it for you?
You may need to go to the emergency room depending on how high it is.

i have high blood pressure too but usually it is controlled with medicine. last time it went up to 191 because i drank three cans of soup. I didn't realize hoow much sodium I was taking in.
keep us informed

Thank you Bobby,

My BP went down but my eye sight is still funky. I to to the doctor about 1 p.m. today. I hope it is not diabetes.

i have diabetes II and don't have that eye condition yet...i think it takes a long time to get it if left untreated

Thanks Bobby. It's hard to be on the computer to read or write. Excuse me if I don't reply to posts for awhile. I have an appointment with the eye institute monday.
