Title: Have high blood pressure - in risk of having a stroke
Post by: Himu on August 02, 2010, 09:33:02 AM: I've been having blood pressure issues lately. Whatever the cause - stress, diet, bad diet from stress, depression, or all of these things combined - is likely the culprit.

But the past few days it's been getting worse and worse. Right now I'm feeling jittery, certain parts of my body have spasms or hurt for a few seconds, my blood pressure is really high now, and I'm in risk of having a stroke.

I'm going to the emergency room later today.

Wish me luck. Just felt I'd tell you guys because you're all awesome and this kinda sucks the poopy.

Post by: lennedsay on August 02, 2010, 01:33:52 PM: Good luck man. Thought I had a stroke last week. It wasn't so bad, but it also wasn't a stroke.

This happened to a buddy, and it turned out to be a string of awful panic attacks. Another friend actually had a stroke, and there was none of these symptoms. It was more of she'd be driving and just start vomiting from a migraine. Then she woke up and couldn't use half her body. She's perfectly healthy today too.
Title: Re: Have high blood pressure - in risk of having a stroke
Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 02, 2010, 01:43:29 PM: it's probably an anxiety disorder -- it tends to ride sidecar with depression issues and poor nutrition/health. if you haven't had panic attacks already, you'll probably start having them soon!

everyone i know has them for a small percentage of their life. i think it is largely due to this fucked up society with its lack of a safety net and its unrealistic and conflicted demands/expectations for its participants.
Title: Re: Have high blood pressure - in risk of having a stroke
Post by: jiji on August 02, 2010, 02:17:28 PM: I've got anxiety problems. It's aggravated by certain things, and manifests in really weird symptoms sometimes. The first time I had a panic attack, I thought I was going to have a heart attack and die. Once I knew what was going on, it became a lot easier to control.

See a doc, and hopefully you can get a diagnosis. You might not need an ER visit for that.

I've not been feeling the best lately physically or emotionally, and I'm probably going to have to go to the doctor at some point in the near future as well. I think you are probably just experiencing a panic attack as well, but still, going to the doctor is the best medicine for that in order to calm the fuck down.

Another vote for panic attack.

But, yeah, you should see a doctor anyway.

And yeah, +1 for anxiety/panic attack. When I had my first years back, I was driving my car and was convinced I was having a heart attack. Arm went completely numb, chest started hurting etc. I've managed to get it under control the last few years, though originally I was put on medication for stress/nerves. I'd never even considered my self a nervous or stressed out person prior to this occurring.

Hope this makes you feel a bit better, but definitely go see the doctor just to be sure.

The worst one I ever had was in a car, I thought I was having a stroke or something. My arms went numb, then my entire body went numb, my face, my legs, my stomach. And my stomach hurt so bad, like somebody was reaching in there and twisting my guts around. My fingers were so numb, I could barely move them enough to pry them off the wheel. Felt bad man.

Title: Re: Have high blood pressure - in risk of having a stroke
Post by: Himu on August 02, 2010, 09:24:17 PM: Ended up just going to the doc. The reason I wanted to go to ER before was because it seemed my doc's office was booked until tomorrow so I couldn't get an appointment. Somehow managed to get one, and I've got me some blood pressure meds. I'm too young for this shit.

The random jitters and aches are gone now that I've taken the medicine, so that's good, but I still feel like I'm not really in my body, only my mind is. My head is aching.

Anyways, I've had a panic attack before so I know what that's like, and I know what a nervous breakdown is like because I've one of those too being the limp wristed nancy I am. This is definitely a case of high blood pressure. I need to work on that.

Being black sucks.

Post by: Cormacaroni on August 02, 2010, 09:28:06 PM: High blood pressure is basically unknown in black people in their native environment(s), no? Sort out your diet and exercise and you'll be fine. Meds are not the long-term solution.

Of course. It's a cycle though. I feel great when I exercise, and I love to do it. But then I get into depression mood where I just don't feel like doing anything except reading or posting on fucking message boards. Which in turn makes me feel even more dysphoric, resulting in me not wanting to go exercise even more. But then I'll be in a great mood and I'll exercise and it makes me feel even better and the cycle continues. My health is entirely aligned with my mood. It's a part of the reason I can't fucking break past 200: irregular exercise.

Just like how you get pressure out of a pumbing system; release some of the water.

Bonus man points if you incorporate duct tape into this some how.

Not exactly. Though I play basketball sometimes. When I exercise, I jog, lift weights and do a mix of cardio. Unless swimming counts as a sport..
