Yesterday I got in such a state I was crying with fear, I ended up going to the local emergency doctor and now i'm glad I did, I thought I had been having bad migraine for 3 days but this doc told me I actually had High Blood pressure (Hypertension) I was having the numb but tingling sensation/feeling like my face was pulling down/palpatations/throbbing headache/could'nt stand noise or the light and was extremely dizzy and irritable, the anxiety was at an all time peak, I was shaking with fear - I just sat n cried thinking my time was up and that I was going to have a stroke or heart attack - Well the doc that saw me has put me on 40mg Propranolol and Co-codomol if needed for the headache, I have to say today is the first day for months I have not felt totally dizzy/light headed the whole day and no panic at all hardly - bit of a blip in Asda because the side effects of the tablets came (feeling sick and I had slight dizziness and tired) I do have a faint headache now but that could be due to general tiredness? I hope! I already have an appointmet to see a heart doctor and have an ECG for the beginning of Jan so just hoping everything will be ok.
Has anyone else on here go High BP (Hypertension)? if so, How have you been or coped with it all and the anxiety panic? and what medication are you on, See i've done the daft thing and read the side-effects and feel a bit apprehensive with already having High bp and palps
