Oh great! Now I have high blood pressure!  |
|
 Here I am, getting close to the end of all the tests required for my gastric bypass surgery, and now all of a sudden, I have developed hypertension. Grrrr! Although maybe it might be a good thing, in a way. My doc says that this more than likely will get me in for my surgery sooner than expected. I was doing really well up until about a month or so ago. During the last five out of six doctors appointments, my pressure has been bordering on being on the high side...today was 150/90. The doctor put me on a low dosage blood pressure medication, and hopefully it will help. This actually scares me a little bit, since both of my parents had high blood pressure, and my mom died from heart problems, and my dad died from a sudden massive heart attack right after being given a "clean bill of health" from his doctor. Will you all please do me a big favor? Will you please pray, meditate, or however you do it, that this will get better and not worse? I would very much appreciate it. Lots of love and big hugs to everyone.

 Katlady2 (4465) | 3 years ago | I thought about the lap band, but I guess I'm the opposite of a lot of people. I figure if the doctor is going to cut into me, I might as well go all the way. Plus I just don't feel to comfortable about the lap band. But that's just me. If you decide to go for it, you have my support and any help that I can give. Thanks hon. | |

| 12. crazy_ol_lady (626) | 3 years ago |  Hi Katlady,
Sorry to hear about your BP being on the rise. Hopefully it is only from the anticipation of having your surgery. You have been through some rough times lately, so that may be part of it too.
Look on the bright side, after your surgery, so many things will get so much better for you. I will keep you in my prayers from now on. You will get better..
Happy posting..

| 13. sherrir101 (2918) | 3 years ago |  Congradulations on your choice to have the weight loss surgery. I had mine in August of 2003. I was on 3 different blood pressure medications at the time. Within 2 weeks, no more high blood pressure. Just because it was high this time,doesn't mean that it will be high forever.
I will be praying for you and your journey.

| Katlady2 (4465) | 3 years ago | I'm being a really good girl. I've cut out the salt, and I've cut way back on the caffeine, and it seems to be helping. But these meds are just wiping me out. I'm so sleepy all the time...and I take them at night too! Oh well. If it helps to lower the blood pressure, it's worth it. Thanks so much hon. Hugs to you too. | |

| 19. blackbriar (6218) | 2 years ago |  I'm wondering if all the stress you have been under with having to go thru all the tests b4 the surgery might be causing your high bp. I had high bp for almost a year but when hubby left us last year, it dropped like a bomb to normal. My dr. told me it was the stress that caused it. Mine topped at 200/105. When I say it dropped, it literally dropped 2 days after he left. I always tell ppl that when he left, it felt like the stress went with him. We have since reconciled and gone thru counsoling. We still have a ways to go but I've set some rules he has to live by so we both can live at peace and it's really working.

| Katlady2 (4465) | 2 years ago | I am thinking the same thing...that it could be all the stress of going to the docs, losing my kitty, and bills. Hopefully it will go back down soon. I'm glad things have gotten better for you hon. Good for you. Big hugs to you my dear friend. | |

| 20. bhubaneshwar (5474) | 2 years ago |  Thanks for sharing here, yes I have full sympathy for you Katlady, you need not be scared, I shall pray for you, you will be ok soon. Hi blood pressure is a very common these days, it is a gift to us by the modern society. High BP is common among elderly persons . Low blood pressure among women is common. My daughter in laws have it, my daughter in US too has this problem. For your information I was taking blood pressure medicines for about 12 years, but after doing Yogic Breathing as taught by Ramdev Baba of India, I am completely cured, no medicines!!!!
