Health Issues
Jul. 3rd, 2009 02:57 pmSo, no I'm not pregnant. That, while unexpected, would be welcome. Stressful but welcome.
No, I went a couple weeks ago for dental work. Which they wouldn't do, because my blood pressure was high.
Now, my blood pressure has never been high. But I called what felt like a million doctors, none of whom could see me until September. And I had the nurse at work take it the next day, which confirmed the diastolic at least (the bottom number) was high. So I went to her doctor last Weds, and indeed it was quite high. 160's over 100's.
So now I'm on meds, which see to be helping. I was lightheaded all day yesterday at work at 120's over 90's. But I know enough to realize all the consequences, so I'm really scared.
And I very much resent that despite all my hard work, weight loss, and effort that I have to deal with this as well. Plus I still have to deal with the dental work I didn't get done, the car and house problems, and my job. I honestly don;t know what I'm gonna do or how I'm gonna get everything done. But I will.
Goddess knows I've been through worse.
