I'm under my doctor's care for pregnancy-induced hypertension, so my BP is checked regularly and has been fine recently. If my BP is fine, can I quit worrying about waking up in the middle of the night with a stroke or heart attack?

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

If your blood pressure if monitored and if you are doing exactly what you are told by your doctor (take the meds, diets, etc...) then you should not have anything to worry about. Worrying too much may increase your blood pressure due to stress than actually helping you. Relax, get the right amount of execise a day, eat well, monitor your blood pressure are what you can do to help your condition.

I feel so bad for you. I've been in your shoes. Paronoid as hell. It happened shortly after my mom died of a stroke, when I was told, my blood pressure was high too. I take my medication and I'm fine and so will you. Relax and stop taking your blood pressure, lol

Not always. My dad had a stroke and his blood pressure was fine.
