Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I am hoping someone here can help me understand what is going on... I am on 2 3/4 grains of NT and weaning off of HC due to high bp- requested per my doctor. I have been on HC for a year this month and am currently on 7.5mg as of today (had been on 10mg yesterday). My bp yesterday (sitting quietly for 15+ minutes each time was: 135/88 pulse 87 @ 12:45pm 131/81 pulse 86 @3:30pm 140/82 pulse 92 @ 515pm Average temps: 98.6, 98.8, 98.6, 98.4 My 'normal' pulse/bp is around 117/80 pulse 76. So, needless to say my bp/p has been running high like this for a week and temps look good to me... They actually got better when I started weaning off the HC. My plan was to reduce 2.5mg every 7 days as long as temp/bp was good... I apologize in advance if this doesn't belong on this board but I don't think HC is a cure all and the more I have reduced the better I have felt- until today when I got an ocular migraine/shakes/paranoid, etc.. I am reducing wrong? I am also on estrogen and had been reducing it because I thought it might be causing the problem of bp but I have read it helps with bp. I am very confused right now and am reaching out for support... Thank you, Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
