yet and the last couple of days the burning and itching is back too. I had my hubby read the leaflett on the pills and he made me more nervous than I was before I think.

Anyway I am itching and burning and my bp is giong back up and I just feel bad tonight. Helpless because I can't control my bp or the burn/itch or the sadness.

He's leaving again soon and I will be alone again here. I am not getting much sleep because the puppies are now 4 weeks old and noisy at night also.

I put off asking him when he was leaving again as long as I could but had to.

T2R,

I wish for you the right path for moving forward out of this difficult period that you are in.

I hope you can confidently take the right steps to move forward and heal.

You are not alone...we are here in support.

Thanks for the support. My blood pressure is up again tonight and I am just feeling angry about everything right now. I am sick of having no control over what my body does and I am so depressed that I can't just wake up and live like a normal human being without having to worry about everything. I'm just sick of it all.

Sorry you are feeling angry. :/ It is certainly an unpleasant state to be in...

...but I'll take anger over fear any day...

...and anger can be a good motivator.

Hoping this can be turned around into a positive for you.

T2R, I don't know how old you are but i have been on BP meds since i was in my 30's and they do work,
its possible a person might not get the same results everyone else does, "my doctors always called this
special thinking", it made me mad at first but after i thought it over i realized i was not different/special
i was just what if'ing myself until i actually drove my bp up in spite of the meds.

Most bp meds are life savers, the problem is us, we really do think we are different/special and it causes us
to resist treatment. ACE, Calcium channel blockers, Bata blockers and various water pills can and will bring
our bp down. You have to take them, otherwise they can't help you, I wish you Peace

Hi Larry I am on amlodipine for my bp and it isn't keeping it down. I also have clonidine for spikes that I take when needed. I have an allergy to beta blocker and ace inhibitors, we also tried the hydroclorothyazide and it depleted my potassium within 2 days.

It is the anxiety meds I am scared to take.

T2R,
I share this fear with you since I'm also scared of the anxiety meds. I also suffer HBP since my 30's and I'm 43 now. Just know that you aren't alone in this struggle so know that we can walk hand in hand in this journey. Sending you a cyber hug.

tupuedes,
Thank you so much. It feels better to know people understand. This feels crazy to fight myself to take a medicine but it is my reality. I'm 46 and hoping there will be some good years left. HUGS back!

My husband left today, just a few minutes ago. I spent last night in panic mode with very high bp and little sleep and today I feel nauseated and very anxious.

T2R,

I am sorry you had a rough night.sad I am also sorry to hear that your hubs had to go again...I know that is a challenge for you.

Can you try to get ahead of the anxiety and make a plan to keep yourself busy and distracted? If you can schedule your day with activities...even if it is something as simple as playing a certain game at a certain time, or watching a movie...ect. it will help. I always do better with a schedule, myself.

Then...maybe you can make a bigger plan.

Finding out the next time your husband is going to be home for an extended stretch of time....perhaps you can make that the goal time of starting your medication?

I really believe that getting the anxiety managed will be key in all of this.

Just some thoughts...

...and encouragement. Keep posting so we can keep you in support.

I'm sure his leaving and my life situation has a lot to do with this and the anxiety and blood pressure. I learn a little more about how this thing is working all the time. Some things stopped while he was here and I can see that it is anxiety. I wish my rational mind was in control though.

I talked to him again this morning about my not starting the meds while he was home and we need to talk more on that still. He will be gone for 3 or 4 weeks I think.

T2R my stepdad wouldnt take BP meds either, but he got excellent results from turmeric, and took a drink
of apple cider vinegar mixed with a couple of other things that i have forgotten, I sometimes forget that we
are not clones of each other and there are real differences in our systems, I Pray you find something that
will bring your BP down and keep it normal, "Forgive Me", Peace
