    Default high blood pressure

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    So I went and saw my doctor yesterday because I thought i had an ear infection in my right ear. Turns out it was just wax build up and managed to get it cleaned out. My ear is okay now except I had a bit of a scare.....when I had my blood pressure taken beforehand it was 182/90. I was feeling very dizzy when I got to the clinic and felt like to faint. Luckily they checked me very quickly,my doctor was really worried because that's the highest my blood pressure's ever been and told me it was dangerous for someone my age. I think I got too worried about my ear,but now I'm worried if I've got high blood pressure or not. Doctor told me my EKG reading was okay tho and I should'nt worry and to follow up.

    That was'nt the only time I felt that way.....day before felt very dizzy and felt like my heart was gonna beat out of my chest. Several other times I felt this way too. I think I've been way too stressed. My mom and my grandma have high blood pressure also.

    Is this a sign I've got serious high blood pressure or was I just too stressed out about my ear???? anyways just thought to say what happened to me lately.

    i gotta start drinking water more often because over the last two months I've been drinking nothing but soda,and as far as eating goes....I've said this before and I really feel I have some sort of eating disording. Sometimes I go a whole day without eating and I always don't eat until it's very late. It's a combination of not really having an appetite and that feeling I don't like of being full,it makes me feel really ugly. I've lost 15 pounds over the last two months too and it's not because I was on a diet tho.

    I did some research and I really believe my recent high blood pressure is also caused by taking too much Ibuprofen. I've also noticed getting slight chest pains ever since I started taking that regularly and it really scares me. So I threw away my bottle of ibuprofen today. I've taken that before and never had this problem until now. I think the gel caps I've been taking plus not eating regularly really damaged me.

    Is there a way I can go back to the way I was? I was'nt feeling like this 5 months earlier.....I think all the stress has been adding up to it too. I nearly lost my place, I've been in very bad situations with men, and I've lost all of my savings I've saved over the years just because I had to temporarily move out of my place and live in a hotel because my roommate and I had a terrible argument; on top of that losing my brother and finding out my grandpa has alzheimer's and very recently finding out that my dad is battling colon cancer. I think all that stress has taken it's toll on me. I really need help.
