Hi,
I agree with Lenin. I actually feel better most of the time when my b/p is high. My highest was 230/120. Everyone is different however. I tend to think it is something else causing your symptoms. You have to be a detective by thinking what is new in your environment, lifestyle, etc etc.that might cause your b/p to increase. Stress of course is a biggy!!! Have you been taking any supplements etc.? Hopefully, your Dr. did blood tests particularly for the thyroid. It is best to decrease high blood pressure slowly in order to avoid a stroke or heart attack from sudden decrease in pressure causing a clot to loosen. In fact, the guidelines for Drs treating
b/p in the ER says this. If you can take aspirin, it would be a good idea to ask the Dr. if you should take a small dose everyday. That was the first thing my Dr. said to do. Resting as much as possible does lower b/p as well as mild exercise such as walking. Writing in a journal ( a cheap notebook) helps me when I'm stressed out about my b/p or something else that is raising my b/p. This is not the time to run around trying to get a million things done in a limited amount of time. Have hope that your b/p will eventually settle down. Take care. Fam
