from my meds. When my bp gets low, I usually feel very fatigued and have difficulty concentrating and/or staying awake. Mind you, it is not dangerously low. But for me, if Im 110/68 or less, I get feeling fatigued.

Pre-hypertension?
Okay, they can come up with a label for anything. I pulled out the blood pressure monitor and started taking some readings tonight, and lo and behold, my numbers were around 128/86 with a pulse of around 120. Did I mention the two kids driving me nuts? I normally run about 110/70, so this is a huge jump; could be why my face hurts and could explain all the other symptoms. I googled the numbers and I apparently fall right into that pre-hypertensive range and need to stay on top of this. BUT, would you believe, the minute I came out from putting the boys to bed, I checked my blood pressure again, and it was right back down to 111/78 (pulse was still 96). It's my kids, killing me slow and sure, dragging me to my grave one little crumb-covered finger at a time. Thanks for all the input. I am going to keep checking the BS & BP, writing it all down, and will take it to the DR as soon as I can get in. Y'all have been great supporters! Thanks again.

I've always had low BP readings, then I'm at a checkup as I had been having very severe abdominal pain for about 4 months. Seems the pain has given me a reactive elevated BP. I went from 110s/70s to 150s/100s in less than 4 months. Now that I'm on antihypertensives, the floaters have gone. We still have not gotten the pain under control, but now I can actually feel my heart rate rise when the pain starts escalating, so I know I need to keep a watch on my BP. My doctor does feel that once my pain is under control (undiagnosed so far - probably stress related), my BP will return to normal and I can come off the meds.
What would you wear to this occasion? (sm)
Mother and father-in-law's 50th anniversary part, at a country club, 7 p.m., not a dinner, just sort of a reception with cake and such, wine...how formal?
On occasion. I have a friend who owns
a small plane. When he goes up, I tag along and split the fuel costs. Flying about once a month for several hours on the weekend.
Love it. Would love to move on with ground school but can't really afford it right now and would need to work part-time to study well enough.
Feel fortunate to have achieved this years ago, though. Did it when I was young and had young children and had no idea what words such as 'no' or 'can't' meant. LOL
It's an historic occasion. Whether you happen to
NM
NyQuil or Benadryl work for me on occasion. nm
Bridal shower atire would probably be fine. Find out if hats are "de riguer" for the occasion.
