Blood Pressure
I lost last week to a week long migraine. I finally made it in to the doctor’s and found out I had a bp of 186/110. That’s a wee bit high, even for me.
So, upped the bp meds. Today I checked it myself and I’m doing better, but it’s still high. Migraine’s still there if I exert myself. I’m fighting the urge to push it just so I can check if it’s the bp going up. There’s a high rate of strokes and heart attacks in my family, so I’m not gonna risk it. My Mom had a stroke just about this time last year. She still can’t feel her right side.
Whole thing is frustrating me and that’s not good with the bp. The follow up appointment with my Dr. is on Teusday. Work is stressful as always. So, I’m mainly just pushing through to the weekend and see what happens.
Yikes, migraines and a BP spike. Sounds like a good week to just try and hold your ground. Save the offensive blast for another week, when the stars are better aligned. Seriously.
I’ve mentioned in replies to a couple of blogs lately that I believe you need Mind, Body and Soul in gear and ready to fight, otherwise you’re going to be working doubly hard for half the gain. Sounds to me like your body is talking to you.
Hang in there, Kevin. You’ve been doing great.
