Blood Pressure Woes

Poor Ed. The medication they gave him that was supposed to help with the migraines and as a side effect help lower his blood pressure actually gave him terrible headaches. I've been making him do cardio with me in the mornings to help lower his blood pressure. He went to have his first anniversary appointment with the lung doctor (after the blood clots last March), and Ed's blood pressure was 160/110!!! That's UP!!

Grrrr

ETA: Ed saw the homeopath who's been able to help him with a lot of stuff the traditional docs haven't, and the homeopath's test says Ed's been severely exposed to this.

Makes absolute sense as Ed's been doing a lot of plumbing projects as a handyman, and he's dreadfully allergic to molds.

Oh My!! I feel for Ed, and you. Hope things get figured out soon for him. Suffering with the unknowns is very hard on a person.

Hope he is feeling better soon.

Just my two cents, I ALWAYS get terrible headaches when I start new medicines, but after a few weeks I'm back to normal. Just a thought...

Migraines and severe headaches are so debilitating. I hope the correct medication and dosage are worked out quickly.
