OK I am so sorry for the confusion here. I am not taking drugs just to get high. I am taking prescribed medication by my doctor for high blood pressure. My Family doctor prescribed this to me on my very first visit, checked it a couple times and told me I had high blood pressure. I disagree with his decision because You can take my bp a 100times at a doc. office and its going to be high. That is just me. Because every time I went in for checkups with my family doctor My blood pressure showed high readings so he put me on more bp meds and so of course I did what I was told. I stoped messing around with the docs around here and went to Indianapolis and I now see a Hypertension/kidney specialist for children at Riley's children hospital(I'm not over 18). They ran all the test on me from heart test to kidney test and every thing is clean. She did not like me on all of the medication (Mg of amlodipine and Mg of lasporine**spelling?). I purchased a home blood pressure machine, which showed my blood pressure at home being low(obviously do to the medication I was on). She took me off the amlodipine totally and its still low so they lasporine is going next, Probably in the next week. She is now thinking I may have never had ***hypertension*** and because my blood pressure was dipping to low my body in response would shoot my blood pressure up, thus causing the 2 episodes of me getting sweaty/flushed and my bp would go way up. She also told me she cannot tell me for sure her theory is true as I was already on the medication when I went to see her, so either way I'm coming off the meds, which I think is a good thing so I can prove that I do not have high blood pressure(i think I'm fairly healthy). Although hypertension runs in the family I dont think i have it, yet anyway. My question is, and al ask again to clarify( i think you guys are confused as I made it confusing sorry) Are those 2 episodes going to effect me getting my medical back. Thanks and I'm sorry for the confusion. And AL be sure to stay out of your airspace because I can tell you dont like to share...I almost thought you had a heart attack why pressing the ? key.......Mabe you should worry about your health 2. sorry for spelling mistakes in advance, I have time to review it.
