Okay, they can come up with a label for anything. I pulled out the blood pressure monitor and started taking some readings tonight, and lo and behold, my numbers were around 128/86 with a pulse of around 120. Did I mention the two kids driving me nuts? I normally run about 110/70, so this is a huge jump; could be why my face hurts and could explain all the other symptoms. I googled the numbers and I apparently fall right into that pre-hypertensive range and need to stay on top of this. BUT, would you believe, the minute I came out from putting the boys to bed, I checked my blood pressure again, and it was right back down to 111/78 (pulse was still 96). It's my kids, killing me slow and sure, dragging me to my grave one little crumb-covered finger at a time. Thanks for all the input. I am going to keep checking the BS & BP, writing it all down, and will take it to the DR as soon as I can get in. Y'all have been great supporters! Thanks again. |
