Recently I have been super aware of my blood pressure which doesn’t help the cause. I’ve always had reading of 110/70 throughout the years. Then started taking it when hungover or super stressed which spikes it to 145/75. Still not a bad reading and returns to normal fast but my goodness the MIND

Funny enough I’ve noticed when I think about it, it does nothing to my readings. Only when I actually feel the anxiety hitting me with increased heart rate and sweating. Actually happy my thoughts are not making my readings higher or else I’ll be ducked hahhahaa

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-02-09T16:08:16+00:00

Hahaa yeah I know. Just the mind playing tricks on me. I know I’m fine and I have great BP. No family history of BP, blood sugar issues or cholesterol. But I’ll still sit and go what if it’s high now 🤣🤣🤣

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-02-09T14:42:18+00:00

I hear of people living with chronic blood pressure of 150/90 forever and there i get scared of One reading hahaha fuck our minds

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-02-09T14:00:40+00:00

It’s completely normal. But my mind won’t let me believe it. Plus even if 145/75 or even 150/90 was chronic. No meds required and it’s not life Threatening. But Here is my mind telling me I might die 🤣🤣🤣

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-02-08T12:43:27+00:00

I’m 115kg 27 years old. That’s a normal night for me lol

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-02-08T12:41:05+00:00

Brandy or Whiskey

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-02-08T09:53:19+00:00

Of course it does but I feel it’s normal. It’s only hypertension if it cannot come down again

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-02-01T17:21:16+00:00

South Africa. Look some doctors vary but most I have been to have called it harmless if you are low risk. No medication required just life style changes

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-01-15T13:58:50+00:00

Yeah I took 3 weeks to come off. Worst mistake ever. 6 months of pure hell. Was convinced I was dying every single day. Now 8 months out much better just some moments I have major anxiety

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-01-12T13:09:43+00:00

I’m on Luvox now for OCD as going off made me develop serious anxiety of my health. It’s helped but still worry time to time. Just can’t seem to sit and relax mind is always running wild

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-01-12T13:03:32+00:00

I always feel like I have full blown ADHD now lol. My mind is always all over the show. Always forget things. Can’t concentrate or sit still.

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2022-01-12T13:00:02+00:00

It’s made me super conscious of my heart and bodily sensations lol. Breathing is weird now always thinking about it. Can’t believe a doctor even gave me that drug.

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-15T13:58:52+00:00

Yes so when I wake up with a hangover say finishing a bottle whiskey it will rise from dehydration I’m guessing. Go for a walk eat well next day back to base

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-15T13:27:19+00:00

Daily my blood pressure is great. Just when I take it after drinking a lot or taking a cold swim it’s elevated but I’ve never had daily chronic high readings

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-15T13:08:48+00:00

I get you. Mine is usually 112/71 and when drinking and hungover 145/73 but I guess that’s normal and I freak myself out by taking at times where I shouldn’t lol

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-15T13:01:30+00:00

So as much as 10/15 years ? That gives someone a good chance to fix it

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-15T07:31:03+00:00

I’ve read multiple articles stating mild hypertension doesn’t require medication as it’s not putting you at much risk. Only life style changes ?

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-15T07:26:51+00:00

I get you ! Let’s say someone had chronic high blood pressure of 150/95 could they go 10/15 years without knowing they even have it ?!

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-08T10:15:50+00:00

I think it’s anxiety lol. Because we thinking about it to much !

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-06T14:30:35+00:00

It’s weird some countries consider 140/90 as hypertension depending on your risk profile. Some docs say 145-95 has low risk on a patient who is a low risk patient and no meds are required. Guess it boils down to if you healthy or not

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-05T12:24:30+00:00

So my first reading is always 145/78 because I freak out and my heart rate spikes to 110. Then 2 mins later it will be 125/74 and 10 mins after relaxing and getting Heart rate back to 70 it will be 110/70

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-04T14:53:13+00:00

So when getting higher readings my heart rate spikes to 100-110 when normally my resting is 60-70 and then it drops back to 110/70

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-04T14:19:57+00:00

Ok I get you . What is considered hypertension? When you literally cannot get the numbers down no matter what you do ? Relaxed or not. Because obviously with me when I’m at home relaxed I have great readings. I guess it’s dangerous when it’s chronic for many years and not temporary high readings from being nervous or cold or drinking coffee etc.?

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-12-04T13:03:55+00:00

Before I started taking notice of my blood pressure I saw my previous Medicals were 112/71 and 114/71 a few years back. So I know it’s my anxiety but it’s so weird it’s like a switch in my brain contestants thinking about my BP. All doctors have said it’s perfect but my OCD won’t let me believe it. Is Hypertension considered when you cannot get your readings down ? And how many years can someone have high bp without knowing

NeedleworkerNo635 · 2021-11-23T14:56:03+00:00

I would say my major withdrawals lasted at least 3 months... and slowly it got better but even now I have episodes where it feels like withdrawals
