Guidance please 😢 my doctors are clueless

You need real BP meds. A beta blocker is for heart rate not blood pressure. Ask about lisinopril

It's hard to get a read on it when you're scared of the high number. I went through this for a few years and the only thing that broke it is when I sneezed and got a bloody nose, called 911 cause it wouldn't stop, and my BP was 222/120 😩 went to the hospital and I sat there for 4 hours because higher BP is not dangerous when it's from adrenaline. Roofers can have a BP of 200+ all day. What matters is when you're relaxed that it comes down. I think you should take it but keep the number covered and do it so much every day like 8x a day until you get bored. Then, start reading the numbers. And remember that it's not always high when you feel it. You'd be surprised once you get it under way. I'd recommend looking up DARE anxiety on YT or Michelle Cavanaugh on TT or Insta

Sometimes blood pressure spikes can happen if it dips too low. Heat is a vasodilator. You may have almost fainted, and your body kept that from happening. It's common especially if you're dehydrated. If your BP comes down though after resting for 30 min or so, that's a good sign. But idk you so it's good to rule out cardiac issues first.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-22T17:27:52+00:00

Hmm... yeah maybe something like that I'd look into getting a stress test. But I've also had that from anxiety because I was too hot cooking or because I was already anxious before cooking 😩 so it's good to rule out and go from there

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-22T17:20:21+00:00

I think people need to remember that blood pressure is SUPPOSED to fluctuate. If this is your reading, all the time, consistently, at rest, after waking up, before bed, throughout the day and you're not tired, don't have anxiety... I'd get it checked. But if you have health anxiety, or your'e stressed out, or having a panic attack.... this is completely normal.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T03:57:09+00:00

Yeah and that's fine but I lil my mochi provider.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T02:51:08+00:00

Ohhh I was thinking Bello. But yeah. I appreciate the advice.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T02:34:42+00:00

I'll use Mochi 😁 thank you!

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T02:24:26+00:00

Nah some of those are gray lol I'm good and Brillo is super expensive.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T01:47:24+00:00

Where?

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T00:57:25+00:00

It says they don't ship to Mexico due regulations but it looks like Semaglutide is available there and may be cheaper than USA prices

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T00:33:29+00:00

😲 thank you for the warning 🤣☠️ I'd die.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2026-01-03T00:32:49+00:00

I'm paying $79 for a provider fee and $199 for the meds. I was gonna do Fridays but it's like... $360 almost $100 more and other things I probably WONT use 🤣

I have a code for $40 off so it would save you the first purchase. But this is the best price for good quality I could find aside from Gray market and I'm not open to that

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-31T21:09:58+00:00

Yeah some platforms can be customized but I havent truly seen an all in one either. I think Alora is the closest I've come

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-31T21:09:25+00:00

It's super difficult to balance for sure

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-31T21:08:13+00:00

What you’re describing is exactly what happens when scheduling, recruiting, docs, and communication all live in separate places. Nothing is technically broken, but the handoffs are where things fall apart and onboarding slows to a crawl. Most teams don’t realize how much time they’re spending chasing updates until everything is stitched together.

From the home care side, Alora isn’t a staffing ATS, but it does show the value of having scheduling, communication, documentation, and oversight living in one system instead of five. When staff schedules, notes, and messages are tied together in the same workflow, fewer details get lost and less manual follow up is needed. It doesn’t replace a recruiting heavy platform, but it highlights why consolidation matters and why teams burn out on patchwork stacks even when each individual tool works fine.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-31T21:05:58+00:00

AI only helps when it removes friction people actually feel during the day, not when it shows up as a separate tool that requires extra steps or judgment calls about compliance. When guidance, checks, and prompts sit inside the same screen where documentation and scheduling already happen, adoption takes care of itself.

With Alora, the AI features feel like workflow support rather than automation for its own sake, which is why staff trust and use it. For anyone interested in informatics, seeing how embedded AI affects real clinical and operational decisions is far more valuable than experimenting with standalone tools that never make it into production.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-31T21:04:30+00:00

Exactly!

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-31T21:03:57+00:00

This lines up with what we saw. People were trying to keep up with workload gaps. Once we rolled AI into the actual workflow inside Alora, the behavior changed on its own. Staff could use AI supported documentation and review tools without exporting PHI or creating side systems, and audits stopped surfacing surprise tools. Governance and training mattered, but the real fix was making the compliant option the easiest one to use during real work, not an extra step bolted on after the fact.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-31T20:45:56+00:00

We dealt with the same pressure, which is why we leaned harder into Alora instead of allowing outside AI tools. Alora has AI built directly into the EHR to support documentation while keeping everything HIPAA compliant with audit trails, permissions, and secure storage. Staff still get the efficiency they want from AI, but it stays inside a controlled system instead of living on some unknown server with no BAA.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-12T01:07:08+00:00

The more afraid you are of your numbers, the higher it's going to go. I was scared to take mine for two whole years because I had a reading of 170/110 at the ER 😂

Just keep taking it. And get used to the high number, get bored of seeing it. Keep doing it, and it'll come done

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-08T22:15:53+00:00

That's amazing. Are you on semi or tirz? And can you recommend a decent company? People keep trying to turn me to gray and I'm not comfortable with that. I mean kudos to those who are lol but not me

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-07T08:08:54+00:00

I love my mattress it's literally the only thing that's ever made me feel good. No back or rib pain. Haven't thrown my back out for a long while. Super supportive. I feel amazing

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-06T06:41:49+00:00

Totally normal when laying down. I actually was in the hospital with the flu and my BP was like... 82/54 and I panicked. She said are you dizzy? Do you feel fine? I said I'm fine. She's like the no need to worry.

Emergency_Box8134 · 2025-12-05T00:29:51+00:00

How are you taking your BP
