I agree. Im on losartan/ water pill combo and its well into my system....Which is one reason why the huge spike in blood pressure is so concerning to me, my blood pressure should not be out of control if its working

Well, good for going in! I had a stress test once and what I remember is that the worst part was my sore hands - from holding onto the treadmill bar - because I have arthritis! Stop looking for clot trouble though... and maybe stop looking at Dr. Google. :D Im not worried about clots because of any...

I went to my primary care first thing this morning and while he did suggest it was anxiety or acid reflux ( which is ridiculous because i didn't describe either of these things) he did aknowledge some risk factors and he is scheduling me for a stress test, which isn't for 2 weeks. I do believe my bl...

I understand why you would respond this way. I guess the reason I didnt go to the er is because the paramedics didnt seem to think I needs to go after the second reading. Also they asked me several times if i woke up having a nightmare. Which I did not. Also the last time i went to the er for it, an...

Hi all....I don't know if this is sleep related but hoping I can get some insight or advice So first, I have high blood pressure and have been having problems with it recently. I went to the hospital after really exerting myself at work. My home bp cuff read 156/120. It scared the crap out of me, ho...

Hello again, i hope everyone is safe during this crisis. I've decided to ask for advice here because I've hard a very difficult time contacting my doctors for advice on the matter: I recently had a pulmonary function test done at the request of my doctor. I was told i may only have very mild COPD b...

I do agree with you, actually i took my son out of school before they closed them and we have been at home for a little over a week. However, im supposed to start a new job tomorrow. In home care for the elderly. I have to pay my rent or i will be evicted. The manager already passed out papers to t...

What is your new employer saying about how to mitigate the risk factors to not only its employees but their customers? At a minimum they should be providing masks for all their employees who go out into the homes of any of their customers. I don't know if your lung issues make you higher risk or no...

You should be concerned whether you are or are not at an elevated risk, if not for yourself but for others who are. You don't want to be a carrier and propagate this. You can't change your personal risk level, nor the situation as it exists, but by following the recommendations you can protect your...

So I wanted to update you all on how well sleep therapy has been going for me.... I've been using my machine faithfully every night for at least 8 hours I started working a full time job at a high end resort as a housekeeper... Working 10+ hours a day I come home a bit sore.... But I still have the ...

Yes. So it's obviously not my machine. My doctor bumped up my pressure yesterday... It's now 18/14

Before I got my machine I couldn't do more then 15 minutes on the treadmill.... Yesterday and today I did a whole hour, each day

Don't know why I didn't think of it before, but I'm pretty sure it's was the CBD oil my dad talked me into taking. I stopped taking it and it's gone now I'm sleeping upwards of 8 hours every night with my machine, but in still go back to sleep without it on when I wake up. I'm thinking I need more p...

Duct tape is working. Manufacturer giving me new hose tomorrow. But I'm having a horrible problem with anxiety. I feel overwhelmed. I feel extremely stressed out and very emotional. I cant think straight. NO it's not PMS, I'm sure this has something to do with the sleep therapy. I'm feeling some pr...
