Hypertension. Ideas and a Theory.

So, have talked with my husband and his brother (who has a degree in body training, nutrition and all that great fun stuff) and he says that eating the way I am is SUPER healthy, Loves that I'm filling up on clean carbs, but that I need to eat more often. I told him to suck it, I'll eat when I'm hungry and only then, AND that I dont have insane needs to shove food into my mouth over and over again because of blood sugar issues.

BUT~

We also did the 'pow-wow' about my hypertension.

I have NEVER had high blood pressure. After my 4 month stint of my heart working out of control to try and pump what little blood I had in my body THROUGH my body, its been HIGH. out of control high. It was just that I wasn't having it checked very often.

We are thinking that it is possible that my heart was damaged during that time. I did almost die. I should have been dead, but I'm too stubborn to give in. My poor dr doesn't even know what to do with me.

I felt fine today. Went to get my patches, tested my blood pressure and it was 147/89 My HUSBAND had BETTER blood pressure than I did! And he's on medication and ALWAYS high!

If all of my other tests had come back funky, I would have thought that it was because of that, but come on? Are we just seeing the first steps of horrible damage that my heart has caused itself? My blood work is NORMAL. GOOD normal. My dr was in shock of how well my blood work came back. Told me that with better sleep and continued exercise my good cholesterol would continue to go up.

And I know that I am just rambling, but I'm kinda scared and don't really know what to do about it. I'll ask my dr when I go see him with my husband on the 26th (he wants both of us in there) and if I freak out before then, I can always call the office and bug him over the phone. I have my ob appointment on Wednesday, so that will help a bit... We'll see...

Sorry to be so freakish. I have to get it out somewhere...
