Good evening
I wondered if anyone on here has high blood pressure? I ended up in A and E last night as I had really bad pressure in my head and my blood pressure was scarily high 180/90. I was assessed by the stroke team and there was no other signs of stroke. I was eventually allowed home when my blood pressure dropped to 150/90 and advised to see my dr, which I'm hoping to do tomorrow (8am phone call for appointment).
I've got a home monitor and have checked it a few times today. The lowest was 130/90 when I first woke up but throughout the day its been around 140/90. I still have the head pressure. I wonder how long it's been high and if it's done me any damage. I've been extremely anxious for the past month or so. Heart rate is high too.
Anyway, just wondered if anyone else has high blood pressure and what medication treats this? I'm not overweight and exercise 5 times a week. my dad has high blood pressure tho so maybe hereditry.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. I have so many things wrong with me at the moment, I'm falling to bits
Thanks ladies xx
