Have high blood pressure - in risk of having a stroke

[Himu]

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.

[Human Snorenado]

See what happens when you deny the existence of baby Jesus, Himu?

Seriously tho, hope you're ok.  Listen to your doctors, especially re: food.

[Stoney Mason]

good luck. I have a feeling it's probably not a big deal especially considering your age but you never know I guess.

[demi]

Maybe you shold quit trolling and being stupid, you fatass.

[Reb]

You probably feel a lot of those things because you're freaking out and focusing on it too much.

[Madrun Badrun]

Goodluck dude. 

[Mupepe]

Maybe you shold quit trolling and being stupid, you fatass.

You're such a dick.

You'll be fine, Himu.  I know it! 

[Positive Touch]

good luck dude.  hope it's nothing - you're way too young to be having problems like this!

[Madrun Badrun]

I bet there is a 75% chance it turns out to be gas.

I've been having blood pressure issues lately. Whatever the cause - fried chicken, hot sauce on pizza, pork rinds, chunky monkey, crack or all of these things combined - is likely the culprit.

fixed

[Diunx]

I put hot sauce on pizza, I guess that's the black in me trying to get out

[Flannel Boy]

Another vote for panic attack.

But, yeah, you should see a doctor anyway.

[Beezy]

agreed

[drew]

should have had more greens with thems chickens himu

[lennedsay]

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.

[Van Cruncheon]

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.

[jiji]

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.

[drew]

get some valium

then mail them to me

[Phoenix Dark]

Yea hope it's nothing serious Himu-chan. I'd hate to lose you before Shenmue returns on the Wii

[Bloodwake]

Hope you feel better.

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.

That might finish him off. :'(

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.

[Human Snorenado]

Well, looks like he's dead.  I call his spot in the park.

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.

[drew]

Look at all these nancies getting panic/anxiety attacks.  What would The Greatest Generation think?

you mean they are real? i thought they were just something you tell your doc to get good drugs

[Ninja]

Sounds like anxiety all right. Get some Xanax.

[Don Flamenco]

Hot sauce on pizza can cause a stroke??  FUCK. 


Good luck himu!

[TripleA]

Did you recently experience anal penetration

[demi]

I wish I could reach into Joe's nice stomach and tear his guts around

[Madrun Badrun]

ewwwwwwwwwwww

No comment

[Cormacaroni]

I'm at risk of 'having a stroke' too - once or twice daily, in fact. Does wonders for my blood pressure and stress

[BlackMage]

soo what is your average blood pressure? are you on bp medication? have you ever been to the doctor before for high blood pressure?

[Himu]

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.

[BlackMage]

keep that shit in check man.. i wouldn't worry too much about having a stroke but you need to think about long term effects.. like your kidneys.

[Cormacaroni]

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.

[Himu]

I feel human now that I've eaten. Only ate an apple and drank today.

[Himu]

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.

[BlackMage]

sounds like you need to man the fuck up.

[Madrun Badrun]

BlackMage is right.  Get some leeches and get rid of some of that extra blood. 

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.

[drew]

just cut down to one (1) bag of pork rinds per day

also switch from extra crispy to regular (or if youre feeling adventurous, grilled)

oh and i almost forgot, get 100% fruit juice instead of that grape drink you people seem to love

[Joe Molotov]

What is your BP, Himu?

[lennedsay]

Did they start referring to it as gravy pressure yet?

[Himu]

Just took my bp for the night and it's 160/80. Bottom number is wayyyy lower compared to this morning and the top number is lower by about 10-15 points.

[Fresh Prince]

What do black people eat in their native environment?

[Cormacaroni]

sounds like you need to man the fuck up.

as a fellow black man you should have sympathy for the plight of the urban brother. Doomed to high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes thanks to the unceasing diet of donuts the white man forces upon them.

[Himu]

I don't even like donuts that much.

My vice is anything egg-related.

And I like fruit punch kool-aid.

[Cormacaroni]

What do black people eat in their native environment?

I said 'environment(s)', foo'

And that's native from a genetic perspective, not from the perspective of recent history.

[Himu]

Don't black people eat black people in their native environment? That's what the textbooks say. Then again I'm from Texas.

[Fresh Prince]

I imagine a documentary series: Himu goes back to Africa.

[Cormacaroni]

Don't black people eat black people in their native environment? That's what the textbooks say. Then again I'm from Texas.

It would be hard to imagine a better food source for humans (for the extremely short term, obviously). Let's start a franchise, Himuro. What do we call it though?

[Fresh Prince]

Real Talk: who would you eat first?
Himu, PD or Beezy.

Hmmm I'm not good at names.

[Cormacaroni]

how 'bout

'Pot-Kettle-Black'?

[Himu]

[Bebpo]

Glad you're doing ok Himuro

[Van Cruncheon]

how 'bout

'Pot-Kettle-Black'?

THREAD WIN.

[Dickie Dee]

What meds are you one Himu?

[naff]

Himu do you do any sports?

[Himu]

Himu do you do any sports?

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..
