I had two strokes last week

47. Wow! That was a close call.

I assume you're keeping close tabs on your BP a few times a day now.

Take care & good luck to you!



My hubby spend hrs in the ER just 3 nights ago - he had all the tests & scans you mentioned. His BP had hit 212/101 ...and was holding no matter what he did or took.

Now, even with higher triple doses of his meds, his BP was still too high. Everything that was tried was not moving it down enough.

He's cut out all salt that he can in his diet but his BP is still too high. Conclusion: it's his anxiety level.

He's a terrible worrywart; even driving causes him too much anxiety, so I've been driving everywhere since he's retired. His anxiety has just gotten worse as he ages. Sigh.

So...last night I insisted he take some THC drops a friend sent & finally that brought his anxiety level down, resulting in lower BP. I suggested he ask his doc for some Xanax. He hates to admit he needs something like that but he does.
