k, just a little stirred

Well the results came in and even i'm surprised at how great they were.
My Dr. is stumped as to the cause of this sudden increase in blood pressure. Kidneys, heart, lung functions are excellent, blood and electrolytes are normal.

He will continue to monitor pressure for a weekand if it doesn't drop then further tests will be required. He asked if there'd been anything that's caused major worry recently - NADA so i'm chalking it up to eating an overabundance of salty snacks, bbq'd food and much more then I should have during our camping trip. I'm to keep eating a limited diet, no alcohol and very light exercise.

BP was still up today 160/100 so still not good but it's dropped a bit, although I know right now there's some work related stress going on and some personal but working through it.

Thank you so much for the thots and prayers, it's appreciated.

I hate medical mysteries. Here's hoping you were dizzy just for the sake of being dizzy (in that fun giggly I Love Lucy kind of way)
