Hi everyone,
I have been having a bad time at work, a bad time in that I was sacked last July but told I had to work another full year! I was having a private conversation with a friend and a comment I made was overheard by another colleague. She reported it and the result is that I was asked to resign. I have had to work in an environment from last July, working with with this other colleague, knowing they have been the cause of me being forced to resign. The colleague does not know the outcome of her complaint.
Anyway, I was having a procedure in December and my BP spiked to 191/114. I went to my GP in Jan who did an ultrasound and bloods and told me that all my veins and arteries were all fine and normal sized and if I had high BP, these would be enlarged. He told me I had severe anxiety. I believe him and I truly believe that my work situation and my anxiety being in this toxic environment is the cause of my BP.
Since Jan, I have eaten well, I have been going to the gym with my trainer, I have eaten the correct foods and drunk the correct teas etc all in a bid to lower my BP. I have added various seeds and nuts to my diet. I have health anxiety so the thought of the machine, sends me into a tiz. I try to take my measurements once a month and last month I felt I was going in the right direction. Yesterday I took them again and the lowest reading I got was 165/105.
I need to get my anxiety under control. I need to let go of the anger that I feel about my work situation. This isnt just a case of finding another job. We (myself and husband) are having to return to our home country because of this, we have extra costs that we have had to incur, my family do not know the real reason we are coming home (although a move was always planned within the next 2 years)
I don't know how to get my BP stable. If you have read this far, thanks.
