I went and bought a BP machine and took it last night. Although at the moment I can't remember what it was...it was fine. I forgot to write it down, but I'm going to start taking it of a morning and evening and see what's happening. Maybe I was just all worked up....who knows.

You need to keep a record of what it is at home because you can have "white coat syndrome" which is where your BP goes high in the doctor's office. Glen has that.
I went to the doctor yesterday and my BP was 106/? (can't remember the bottom number). The doctor's changing some of my BP meds around. Maybe that's why I've been feeling funny lately.

Oh Janet... I hope you get your BP under control soon. As we all know, that can be so dangerous. I wish you well. When you had your hysterectomy did they remove your ovaries? When I had mine they didn't. But I had to have them removed in July and now I am starting with the hot flashes and head sweating.. it's awful! Maybe your sweating is related to that?

I'm hoping you DO have "white coat syndrome" - and that your blood pressure is A-OK at home. Then, you have nothing to worry about. When you are on BP meds, it is always a good idea to take your pressure at home on a regular basis cuz you never know when it will creep up - or go low - as in Diana's case!

I've already taken it this morning and it was fine again. I've never had 'whitecoat syndrome' before. My blood pressure is always fine at the Dr.'s office. Having to deal with mother does get to me sometimes and homelife......
I also had it in my head to just hop in the van and go visit Diana since I'm off for 4 days this week, but I got myself so worked up because I was too afraid to drive it alone. I also checked flights, trains and buses but no luck. I think once I realized I was just going to have to stay home....the BP went back to normal. I don't know of any other reasons why it was so high.
