My 2 Kids For Him
• Apr. 19, 2008 -
| It's been an interesting week. Well, I guess you would call it interesting?.... I was hit with the finding that I had high blood pressure. Never had an elevated reading before. Circumstances led me to check it....actually the advice of someone else led me to check it:) Anyway, while I was at Wal-Mart getting groceries I happened to see the blood pressure machine and thought, well I'll just see. And....it was high. The top number was near 160 and the bottom 110. I was floored. I checked it 2 more times that day at my moms.....still high. I checked it 3 times the next day....still high.....top ranging from 149 to 163 and bottom ranging from 110 to 116. So.....my mom (who doesn't do Dr.'s visits unless she feels it completely and totally necessary) said I better go to the Dr. So on Friday I made the appointment and the BP reading was even higher. Once by the nurse and once by the Dr. Then I had an electrocardiogram and a kidney test and just generally checked over. So, I'm just asking for prayer that I can get it down. I am taking medication now (first time I've been on medication) and am seeing some slow results, but results none the less. I hope to be able to come off it completely. A friend recommended flax seed....I may give it a try too. |
