goodbye, blood pressure med, I hardly knew thee. but you suck.
Posted by lilacgrl524 under New Daily Persistent Headache, blood pressure, headache, medication changesYup, it’s a big “adios” to that medication. I had my blood pressure checked again today, and it was still low: 104/60. Eep. “Let’s stop that bloody drug,” my doc said when he called me just a little bit ago. I hadn’t even taken it yet today because I was waiting for him to call me back. A big relief to go off of that junk, because clearly it wasn’t helping out the head at all. Hopefully I will be able to start feeling better and not feel like a limp and heavy doll! My head has been hurting in a slightly different way, but I’m thinking that it’s due to the med changes and whatnot. Oy.
P.S. trying to play around with Twitter… I can see it on the blogroll on the right side, but it’s supposed to have little updates, not just a link. Hmm…

wait, 104/60? Is that with the drug or after? Because I must tell you that MY BP, normally doesn’t even get that high. No kidding, well sometimes; like in traffic, during road construction, when I’m in a hurry, and ALL of the kids are in the car, without their MP3’s, and everyone else on the road forgot to take their antidepressants AS WELL!! Yeah, THEN, it may jump that high. Mine goes around 84/60 - I’m a heart beat away from the chill room. A very s l o w heartbeat.

Whoa! It was with the drug. I’m off of it now, I haven’t taken it since Thursday, and I feel a lot better - still not 100%, but definitely able to do more than I had been. That seems a bit scary to me that your normal BP is low, but I’m assuming that you’ve been checked out a whole bunch of times about it. Do you feel lethargic? Tired? Or because it’s your typical pressure, maybe you don’t have those feelings… very interesting!
