Not sure what to do - High & Low Blood Pressure Message Board

OK so I went to the E.R. Tonight because I collapsed onto the floor. I am 25 and in pretty good health. when I got to the ER my BP was 168/98 My chief complaint was the stabbing feeling in my side. The doctor ordered blood work, UA's and an Xray. The only thing that the found wrong was inflemation on the lower muscels on my back. So then the doctor gave me a shot of Tagratol and a robaxin pill. Anyway at the end of the vist they took my BP again and the systalic droped 32 points. Every time I have been to the doctor my BP is always high but they never seem to think it is a problem. I am worried because my family history of heart problems is huge. If anyone has any ideas please share them with me.

going far away,

Why did you collapse? Are you epileptic (I ask because that's the primary use for Tegretol?)

I don't think your heart or your blood pressure was involved in your collapse.

How's your back today?
(Do you like Robaxin...I'm looking for a good back pain med?)
