Don't think I should sleep...

on blood pressure medicine.. Which makes me extremely tired and dopey.. But my blood pressure tonight has been running 150/90's... So it's pointless!!!
My heart rate has been in the 40's.. And now it's going into the 30's. Bp still high. This makes no sense and no one will listen to me! They all say it takes time. And it's just anxiety.. I feel like shit. But I can't go back to the hospital..

    Honey I know this sounds cooky but do some breathing and meditation exercises. They help! And stressing is only going to make it worse!!!

    Your heart rate is dropping? If your in the 30s you need to go get checked. Anything before 55/60 is low. I'm an LVN and if a residents heart rate is below 60/55 we don't give the bp med...

    I really hope you feel better!!!! Try taking some slow deep breaths, maybe that will help calm you. And if your blood pressure is that low call another hospital or doctor!
    Again hope you're feeling way better by now!!!

    See I have bradycardia. My normal heart rate is 50's. Before the meds it was 40's.. I assumed because of blood loss and anemia. So when the ER doctor said he was going to give me medicine, he also said he was going to give me a beta blocker.. My mom has tachycardia and they give her betas to lower her heart rate.. So I refused it obviously.. But since going on this medicine (Hydralazine) my blood pressure is going back up.. Even higher now. I'm frustrated with it. It's causing severe anxiety. And now to top it off putting me in a dangerous place. My heart rate now is back to its normal. It was 48 when I just checked. So the meds wearing off.
    I'm going to a doctor today.. Instead of an ER doc. (If I can't get in, I'll go to a walk in clinic for now.. My OB wanted me to come in next week, but that's the earliest they can get me in)


    Thank you ladies. I just tried to relax.. Well not to much, lol my heart rate could afford to drop more. But it's wearing off now so I'm feingb better.
