Well Kristy, you have every right to be nervous. Again, I'm not trying to scare you or make you feel even more nervous...just that it's very wise of you to keep on top of this. Once it gets handled, you should probably get (if you don't already have one) one of those BP monitors for at home readings.

Right now I want to share with Kristy that I'm pretty certain the reason the BP cuff was blown off was because they used a small size cuff on your arm and/or the velcro was worn and didn't hold very well. They should have used a much larger size cuff on your arm and then pumped it full of air to compress your radial artery. I'm surprised the ER didn't try using a larger cuff. However, the fact that they got a reading of 223/120 is nothing to ignore. I hope you see your doctor and get to the bottom of this high BP. Right now, I came in to say that I'm listening to ds#2 on his college radio show. I love hearing him banter/talk with his few listening fans but I don't like the music. I IM'd him earlier and asked he could play Clay Aikens for me and he just LOL'd at me....

OMG Egbok I ate a huge and I mean huge plate of Chinese the night before! I am calling my doctor right now by husband said after we ate it that he tasted a huge amount of MSG. Thank you so much for that info! I just left his office and was put on Atenolol 25mg. My BP at his office was 160/85. Right after I took the medicine, before it had time to dissolve I took it and it was 146/84 pulse was 64. Now I am afaid I should not have taken it.

LOL!! PS I'm going to get onion rings with ranch dressing. Thanks for the tip, Landi!!

kristy, it was me who ate chinese and had what was thought to be a heart attack...msg is often bad for people and, in large amounts, very unhealthy. i am hoping that for you it was also msg, and that you can avoid it and the problems if that is what caused your high blood pressure. it would be an easy thing to take care of as long as you read labels or ask for non-msg foods at chinese restaurants. what's funny is my doctor didn't think of the msg, i did. once i mentioned it, he agreed it could well have been the msg. i have just avoided it since, and i mean doritos and anything else that uses msg as a flavor enhancer not just a meat tenderizer. good luck! my heart 'pressure' and bp were back to normal within 48 hours. yours may also be, without the meds, but play it by ear and keep in touch with your doctor.

Right now, I may be on TV today.. The episode of Dr Phil that I attended (with a busload of others from my Curves place) is airing today! Topic is Prenuptual agreements. IF I show up at all, I'm in the center front section, in the middle of the back row (fourth, fifth row).. and I'm just as short as usual, with a black jacket on.. I'm between an equally short black woman, who also has a black jacket on, and a tall, large black man with a grey beard.. most likely we won't show up, but it is possible..

Right now I'm sitting here wondering why I'm shivering...and I remember that last week when we had 80 degree weather I reprogrammed the digital thermostat for 60 in the evening. Now that's it's only 40 degrees outside, that's a might bit cold. Ah, the joys of spring in NE PA. You can go from not being able to get home because of snow to not being able to get to work because of floods to record highs to record lows, all in the course of a couple of weeks.

Right now I'm wondering about that cat on the loose who tried to pick a fight with my JRT at 11PM last night... hope he/she made it back home safely. I was worried about it crossing the streets, but there was little I could do to help, what with the growling, snapping terrier on the end of my leash. I feel a little guilty.

Right Now I'm back....kinda. Been down with flu since Tuesday am. Man, was that one nasty little bug. I don't think I've been this sick in decades, really! Right Now, I can spend about five minutes looking around, before I get a sort of seasick queasy feeling from scrolling around. Really weird. Right Now, I'm still trying to figure out what I can eat without having trouble. My stomach doesn't mind the bit of food I've been trying, but my mouth....everything tastes real bad!

Right now, Sea, I just checked my tape of Dr. Phil. I taped it because of your post. Didn't watch the whole thing, just checked the very end of the show, when he walks out. I think I saw you then. I should have taped SO mode instead of EP. The quality is so much better...it's a bit out of focus, but I think it is you. As he is walking down the main aisle (shaking hands and just before he turns right)...you are on the left ,4th person from main aisle. Did you see yourself in any more shots?
