Most of my life my b.p. has been normal, really perfect. Twice now it has been high, once a few years ago from a medication interaction that lowered my sodium dangerously, and my b.p kept going up, and the past month or so its been high.
Generally I was only getting it checked when in the Dr.s office for other things, like an ear infection or my annual exams. In the past two months, there have been three visits, and all three were high. This past time, they actually kept me for a couple of hours to keep taking it, gave me something to lower it, and sent me home with instructions to take it twice a day for a week. Its now 162/110, after just hanging out with my dogs on a sunny afternoon in the backyard. I thought it may be another medication thing, since I have been taking Allegra or Zyrtec the past few months for allergies and ear problems, but I haven't taken them for two days and its going up. Any ideas?
