Before I left from California to drive a truck to Alabama and to begin a job with the military, i weighed 142 pounds. Within a week, I went up to 172 pounds with ongoing edema in my feet and ankles. I dont seem to have the energy I did then. I am female, 59 y.o. 5ft 6 inches tall and have MVP non bleed and hypoglycemic controlled by diet. I recently went to the e.r. with a BP of 190/80. First time in my life!!!! Normal BP 137/76
For BP multiple treatment options are available like Losartan H 50 once a daily etc. u should restrict your fluid intake to less than a liter and strict salt restrictions. Regular BP should b checked using home based BP apparatus. Also, u need to do some blood test like thyroid left/ft, hemoglobin before starting the medicine.
