DragonRider Posted January 8, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2013 Not one that I really wanted to join. About 2 weeks ago I started waking up in the middle of the night with a raging headache that was felt mostly behind the eyes. Went to the Dr. today because I couldnt shake this mornings headache, had to miss work, so went to the Dr. and now I have to take another med for high blood pressure. I am hoping the Dr. gets it right with the meds the first time, everyone I know has to take a couple of different ones before they hit on the right one. Starting out on Diovan, hope it works, cant take the headaches any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etcswjoe Posted January 8, 2013 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2013 Pray the first one does work for you, a couple of the first ones I had made me feel not so well took about 4 tries to get the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painterman67 Posted January 9, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 9, 2013 At least your doc is doing something. MIne just seen me and charged me my co pay and told me to drink more fluids. His words, it'll go away sooner or later on its own. I think its time for a new doc David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus1300 Posted January 9, 2013 Share #8 Posted January 9, 2013 I had White Coat Hypertension all my life except one day it didn't go away so now I am on 5 different meds for blood pressure,but they do work.It may take a couple of tries to get it right but worth it. You should get your own cuff as midlifeventure did.They are easy to learn to use and many will even do all the work and just give you a reading at the end.No Stethoscope or listening on your part.

GAWildKat Posted January 9, 2013 Share #11 Posted January 9, 2013 If I lived closer to you Lewis I'd happily check your bp for you. Mom trained me well. Istead of playing with dolls as a kid I had my tonka trucks and my own stethoscope and cuff that I used to practice on Dad a few times a day lol. And yes, they were real.
