Hi everyone hope you all are doing good.  I have been having some trouble with my feelings and blood pressure . Feeling sad happy angry mad just crazy.  I'm on meds but still having off the wall feelings and to top it off my blood pressure is high.  On meds for that to.  Just one of those days were u want to stay in bed cuddled up. Want to be happy all the time which is impossible.

How would we know we are happy without a basis for comparison? The bad days are the basis for comparison in my own sensory perception.

Gentle support while you process those renegade emotions. Sometimes giving myself that day in bed is the most productive thing I can do. Sometimes. . .

Gentle hug sweetie...…

I'm sorry that it's up..... I would call your pharmacist and make sure none of your meds are upping your BP

I was on Naproxen a while ago and my BP went sky high and it was due to this medication

I'm sorry you're struggling.....xo

I'm on that to so now I wonder if that's why because I'm on blood pressure meds. I just don't like the feeling. My face gets super hot and red and I feel drained.

Toughassteele, I've got PTSD and high blood pressure, too, and I've written here before that for 2 years now Prazosin's helping me with both. It's a blood pressure med that was found in 2013 or so to help with the nightmares Iraq war vets were having. I'm lucky it's processed via the liver, not the kidneys, so I can take it despite my kidney disease. Maybe you'd like to check it out.
