Hi everyone! My blood pressure has been really getting on my nerves, and I'm not even pregnant. It's been going up to 150/90, and I have to take medication to bring it down. It's happening almost every day now. My head seems fine; I had a CT scan and saw a neurologist. Yes, I'm overweight, and I've been stressed for three years, but honestly, these spikes are just exhausting me. I know there's a pattern: when I lose weight, my pressure goes back to normal (around 115-130), sometimes it rises, but not often. It used to be like this, but it never stayed high constantly, even with the extra weight. So, I'm thinking it's time to see a cardiologist, right? ECG, heart ultrasound, kidney tests? Anyway, if you're in the same boat, please share any info you have.

Start by seeing a therapist. My husband has been taking blood pressure medication daily for several years.

I was 85/47 at the hospital waiting for my documents to be measured. If we add yours and mine, we'll each have a normal reading 😂

My husband's blood pressure has been high lately. He went to a cardiologist, and they prescribed him blood pressure medication and injections for weight loss.

Don't guess the cause. Go to the doctor, get tests done, and whatever else is needed. Otherwise, it could end badly.

With that kind of pressure, you need to see a doctor and find the right medication for you long-term.
I've been taking pills for 16 years, lost 10 kg, and now my pressure is 115/70, but I still take what the doctor prescribed.
