RE: Blood Pressure and Eye(ball) Pressure+LOL!!

[Guest guest]

A month or so ago I went to the community health clinic had the standard

blood pressure check (didn't even attempt to my all ready natural

knowledge or eye impairment)and nothing was said to me at the time of

this visit. A later visit for unrelated symptoms, the assistant did the

standard blood pressure check and told me, in essence, that my blood

pressure looked good this time, very high on last visit....surprise to

me since I, like you, had always had low blood pressure checks close to

comatose. Suggestions, you ask? Keep a regular check, monitor it, and

listen to your physical self in conjunction with your essential self.

 

Science and beliefs can be powerful alliances.

Blood Pressure and Eye(ball) Pressure

 

Hi all,

 

Well, yesterday I took the day off work to get a couple of (what

should have been completely) routine appointments taken care of -- a

visit to my opthalmologist for a (somewhat belated) eye exam, and to

my dentist for a simple cleaning. Neither of them turned out

completely " normal " .

 

In the course of the eye exam, my eye dr. did an eye pressure check

and found that the pressure in my eyes is too high. This concerned

him because this is apparently a preliminary possible symptom of

glaucoma. Yikes. No history of glaucoma in any branch of my family

tree, so this was a complete surprise. He said there's no reason to

panic, but he wants me back in six months to test the pressure again

and start benchmarking any changes.

 

Then, later on at my dentist, they did a routine blood pressure

check, and for the first time in my entire life, my blood pressure

was pronounced " high " ! 120 (or 130; my brain has fogged about that

first number) over 82, the " 82 " being the part that makes it " high " .

Usually, my blood pressure is on the low side, like " how can you even

be standing up? " low. Hopefully this is just a one-time weirdity,

not something that's going to be chronic.

 

I've not done much research yet on high pressure in eyes or blood

pressure, but I've started. In the meantime, I wanted to ask if any

of you has ever had experience with either of these " high " things,

and if there are any suggestions on how to alleviate them. I'm

trying not to panic. This is all kind of weird for me, and I'm

having a hard time getting my head around it -- usually when a dr.

tells me to come back in some small amount of time it's because I've

hurt myself with some stupid Karen trick, not because there might be

something physiologically wrong with me that needs to be monitored!

 

Any suggestions on what I should consider doing?

 

Thanks,

 

Karen
