Jessie has high blood pressure

[judy]

I was talking to my daughter yesterday. She has just been told her blood pressure is much too high. She went to a local doctor for a physical and a Pap smear. This doctor told her that she has ovarian fibroids. The doctor was concerned at the size, and mentioned that a hysterectomy may be the solution.
She took blood, and Jessie has to go for a sonogram about the cysts.

She is now on bp medication, and has to go back in 2 weeks for a check up. I feel really bad for her! I'm not sure about fibroids. I had them for years, but they were not a problem that needed surgery. I did have 4 "scrapings" when I began menopause because they caused me to bleed so heavily that I am sure that I put all of the Tampax family's children through college! They went away after menopause though.

Please pray for Jessie.

Jessie has so much to deal with and now this. I'll be praying for her.

I will certainly pray for Jessie.

I hope she doesn't have to have surgery Judy.

Maybe Gayle will have some info for you about this.

Hugs to you and Jessie:)

Judy, I am sorry to hear this about your daughter, please don't let her put off having the ovaries checked out, the sooner she can get this taken care of hopefully she will feel better. I will be praying for her.

I posted about my oldest daughter (35) just had here gall bladder and 1 ovary removed and her blood pressure has been very high since, they tried some meds on her to get it down but they didn't work, she went to a cardiolgist today and he put her on a beta blocker and something else, so waiting to see if that helps. They said it could also be a disease to do with her kidneys and a "simple" operation could fix it. Oh and her colestorol (sp) is high also.
I will be waiting to hear what your daughter finds out.

Oh Lynne! That poor girl. Too many things at once! I will pray for your girl. I hope the beta blockers help, and she can avoid surgery.
