Blood pressure again

I have to take Mom to her kidney Dr. tomorrow and while I'm there I'm going to have them take my blood pressure.

I took it while I was helping Mom with the manual exchange and it was 141/101. I did go to my "happy place" and took it again and got it to 138/98, but that is still way too high...right?

I wonder if it's been running high if that is why I've been sweating so much. I would say perspire, but I kind of link that to underarms, I literally sweat...all over especially my face and hair. So if it's high there, then I guess I'll need to see the Dr about it. I do take BP meds so maybe they need changed.

Yes Janet, that's way too high...especially since you take medicine for it. I'm glad you're going to the doctor! I never heard of it causing a person to sweat, but be sure to tell the doctor about that. Probably just time for a different medication Keep us posted!

BTW....WHERE is your "happy place" ??

What did the doctor tell you Janet? I hope you got good medication that brings your bp down quickly! The sweating may be menopausal symptoms. Fun, isn't it?

How is Mom?
