High blood pressure scares me?

If you want to remain calm, you are going to have to get a handle on your blood pressure, and in order to bring down your blood pressure you have to stay calm. One of the reasons for high blood pressure is anxiety. I know this is not easy, but you really do need to find inside of you the strength to just get hold of whichever doctor you trust the most, and try to talk to them about the possibility of either changing or adding to your bp meds, or even just upping your lisinopril. You can try leaving a message and talk to the doctor over the phone (this way, you won't have to go out). They do call back. You just have to tell them you want to speak to the doctor himself. I made you my friend this morning and I will talk to you about the other issue whenever you like. Now that we are friends, you can send private messages if you prefer. The advice that everyone here has given you about your blood pressure is so right. We have a lot of caring people here who really know and understand what you're going through. Please continue to ask whatever questions you have. You will always get a truthful, unbiased opinion from everyone, but the one thing that you will see the most is that each of us is advising you to go to your doctor about this. Only a doctor should be handling your bp issue. You do need to talk to him/her. You don't want to let this go, as it is high, but not yet dangerous. Catch it before it gets any worse. You are at the level of needing professional help for this problem.
If you can't get help from your docs, it is time to look seriously into getting a new one. That might be stressful to you, but in the long run will save you a lot of anxiety. Just hold your breath and jump in. Guarantee you it won't hurt as bad as what you face at home. Take care and God bless... beanmarie
