Hi all,
I have these issues where my BP will be stabilized for a long time and then it will suddenly shoot up very high. It always does this in August. For the last 3 years anyway. Now I am dealing with my pulse being too high. Yesterday after work (which was filled with high stress, physical stress and high drama between me, my manager and this girl young enough to be my daughter who just happens to hate me and she is my managers pet) I felt funny all through work. I felt like I was breathing fast and I was having occasional chest pains. I was also very thirsty because I did not have a. Break for over 3 hours and we are not allowed to have water in the deli where I work. When I got home I took my BP and it was fine but my pulse was 127. My doctor who I called said to push fluids, not take my diuretic (which I already had) and to take another beta blocker if it stayed above 110. Well it never went below 100 the rest of the day.
My husband and I did a lot of stuff today and when we got home my BP was low and my pulse was 107 (I had rested). Then we went to the fireworks and came home and I rested. I took it again and this time my BP was 147/87, and it has been around 113/81. And my pulse this time was 68!!! Wait I will take it again real fast......Ok, so now, about 2 hours after I last took it, my BP is 132/89 and my pulse is 90! So I have no idea what's going on! Does this sound like anything any of you might know about?? I am getting a bit nervous cuz August is around the corner and I have a lot of stressors right now. Any info or insight or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

your Doc can go over your meds with you. And a Xanx once in awhile
will do wonders.
You sound really stressed. Have you tried Yoga or mediation. They
do help.
The best of luck to you
