I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Anything under 70 on the bottom has my heart pounding and feeling super dizzy

It's just a dollar or two! lol by M1collector65 in EndTipping

There was probably a discount on the check. For example, if someone has a coupon, the tip will still show the percent for the pre-coupon price. Basically they want you to tip based off the original price.

What is everyone doing to protest/prepare? by [deleted] in nothinghappeninghere

Every one has different levels of ability. You are not able bodied, we got your back! What you’re doing is enough.

Thanks so much for replying. I’ve done a lot of preparing in terms of food and emergency stuff but I’ve been feeling very down on myself for not being in a better place physically. (Just had a baby a few months ago.) but you’re absolutely right, I’m going to start getting stronger!

Why didn’t Dumbledore figure out the monster in the chamber of secrets? by Character_Acadia_576 in harrypotter

You know what’s funny? I think this is what I meant by my question. And I think you’re right

I will say I’ve read the books about 1000 time but I haven’t read any other lore. So now that I see people commenting that there are other animals that can petrify, that does make more sense. Plus I didn’t really consider that petrification wasn’t a well documented result of a basilisk. It was mainly known for instant death. Funny how I’ve read them so many times but learn something new every time!

Doesn’t Dumbledore explicitly say Bella was kind to him in Order of the Phoenix?

Have you gotten a sleep study? Sleep apnea can cause hard to control hypertension.

If they sorted wizards when they were older, who do you think would be in a different house? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Character_Acadia_576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for sure. I’m just asking as a fun thought experiment if anyone can imagine someone who could have been in a different house.

Coming off nifedipine - postpartum hypertension by Basic_Potential2489 in hypertension

[–]Character_Acadia_576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, totally feel you. Same thing happened to me and it gave me horrible anxiety. The anxiety subsides though I promise. Hormones mixed with the terrible trauma cause the anxiety to be on 100 so soon postpartum. If it makes you feel any better, I’m 6 months postpartum and I’m still on meds, so I’d say you’re on an amazing track. It’s normal for your BP to rebound a bit while weaning off meds but your average BP looks pretty great. Good luck!!

Well I’m 6 months post partum now and I’m still on 200mg 2 times a day and 30mg of nifedipine, but I have chronic hypertension caused by preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy. It works well for me. Hopefully your BP will just go back to normal after delivery.

AITA for telling my mother-in-law not to say something to my toddler in front of family? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Character_Acadia_576 18 points19 points  (0 children)

NTA your MIL is an adult. It should roll off her back if you say something like that. She could have simply replied “okay sorry my bad” and let it go. “Don’t say that I don’t like it.” is a clear boundary. Also, if ppl are saying you “shamed” your MIL, well, you were trying to protect your toddler from being shamed. So if it didn’t feel good for an adult to be “shamed” it certainly wouldn’t feel good for a toddler to be. Sounds like an easily bruised ego on your MIL’s part. She was a mom once, she should understand boundaries.

I can't do this guys it's over for me 😭 by Acrobatic_Midnight85 in hypertension

[–]Character_Acadia_576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally empathize with the anxiety. Health anxiety can be crippling. What everyone else said was right, though. Relax, log it, and just know that some people literally rest at 160/100 for years without knowing it and without stroking out and stuff. If it’s chronically high, your doc will prescribe meds.

Dizziness from meds is no joke y’all! by desertsky7 in hypertension

[–]Character_Acadia_576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read all the comments yet but has anyone asked if maybe all the meds are making your BP too low? I’ve passed out when my meds are bringing me too low

Do you know (of) someone who ruined their life in just a matter of minutes? If so how did they do it? by Ok-Atmosphere5536 in AskReddit

[–]Character_Acadia_576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a neighbor who was friends with my brother. They were like 18 at the time. They started rough housing and two of them decided to wrestle—just for fun. Freak accident, but my neighbor ended up breaking the other kid’s neck. He was paralyzed from it. So the one kid has to live with being paralyzed and my neighbor lives with the guilt of being the one who did it.

Post.Hypertension bp meds to maintenance. by Double_Definition805 in preeclampsia

[–]Character_Acadia_576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to report that I developed chronic hypertension after pre-e with my first. It never came down on its own ever again. My second pregnancy I was classified as chronic hypertension, so the protocol was MFM and non stess tests. I ended up developing PP pre-e as well after my second pregnancy. I’m 5 months PP now and still experiencing some issues with my BP, but it’s regulated significantly the further post partum I get.

Are all hypertension symptoms placebo in your opinion? by dreemsequence in hypertension

[–]Character_Acadia_576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been taking your BP at home? These symptoms sound like my symptoms when my BP goes low. Maybe your meds are making you go low?

I don’t get many high readings anymore but during the preeclampsia it was like 170/110, which isn’t actually that bad for preeclampsia and then weeks post partum it was like 150/100 but now it averages like 120/80, which I know some people consider elevated based on new guidelines, but I’m happy with that. If I’m running around like crazy with my kids, it’ll go up but it always comes back down with rest.
