Hi,
I've posted on here several times, and came out with great results..
I need some advice on what I should do...
I am 21 years of age, female, and I have very HIGH blood pressure. I just had my second child, and most say that it is from being pregnant, during pregnancy you have high blood pressure, well I have had high blood pressure for basically 3 years now.
About 6 months ago, it started going up, and all the doctors are putting it off as, nervousness about such and such, just a bad day, being normal... etc. None of them have actually considered it could be serious. Last week, my blood pressure was 162 over 119, and it fluctuated from 150 over 110, 145 over 108, etc... as of yesterday when I was at the doctor it waas 160 over 100, she told me to lay there and she would check it again, that maybe I was nervous, she checked it, it was 170 over 110. So that was no better. The only thing that the doctor said was you were just nervous about the doctor appointment, to rest and come back Friday and she would check it.
I have let my relatives know, because they ask, and I let them know that my BP is high, and they are really concerned. I don't know much about the concerns and worries about high blood pressure.
My symptoms from the high BP have been a constant head ache, mainly between my eyes, all through the night, and mostly in the evening. But recently it has changed to all day thing. I have had a couple of nose bleeds, before that, its blood in mucus, as is at the moment. I hear my heartbeat in my ears.
Last night, I could not sleep at all, I took Tylenol PM, to help me sleep, something just felt wrong, and I had a headache.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... :(
