at least it's not CSF!!!! PTL for that anyway!!!! I'll be praying for you that your blood pressure goes down. Cut out the salt and start drinking lots of water everyday. Take care of yourself girl! We kinda like having you around ;o)
(((Jessie))) The good news is, hypertension can be controlled. There are drugs for that. You got some! :) And I think the drugs for hypertension also lower your heart rate, but I can check on that for you if you want.
Don't worry about the Hows and Whys and age and all that crap. All our bodies are different, and there's no sense obsessing over it. Just be glad you live in the 21st Century where they have drugs to lower blood pressure and heart rate that work effectively with minimal side effects.
Do I sound like a Beta Blocker commercial? LOL! That's because my FIL has *very* high blood pressure (stroke pressure at times, like 180/105), and I've heard the lecture he's given by my DH 1000 times already. I could become a spokesperson for the American Heart Association we've been over this so many times ;)
Hugs to you, and prayers for you, and don't worry. That just makes it worse. Just take those anti-hypertensive pills and put it out of your mind.
I'll be praying all your testing turns out fine. And exercising and diet can really help your BP. Mine and my dh's dropped dramatically when we lost just a little weight. DH's used to be VERY high, but now it's perfect, around 115/70. (((((HUGS))))) and take care of yourself!!
I'm sorry to hear all that.

The good thing about all of this is, you caught the problem and now can change it for the better.
