Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 It's a little bit high. But again I doubt it is the reason for the weight gain. More than likely the blood pressure is due to the weight gain. But you seem very stressed and that can cause your blood pressure to elevate as well. Candi blood pressure?!?!?!

Where you walking around.. getting some exercise?? My sitting still bp is usually anywhere from 110-120/ 70-75. I have had many nurses take it OVER and OVER again.. they could never believe someone so fat could have a Normal BP.. idiots. Anyhow.. if I get excited or say.. running late for an appt...my top number could go as high as 130/135. I guess the big question is.. Do you feel alright?? Dizzyness?? Numbness or Tingling? Out of Breath??? Nautious?? Of course.. when in doubt.. just call your PCP and talk to the nurse.. give a heads up. I like to err on the side of caution.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Thats what the doctor figures. That the weight gain is cause my blood pressure to rise and drop, and cause my sugar to act up but hes is determined to find out why I have gained weight so quickly. I think he could tell I was stressed to, the wellbutrin is an anti depressant.. But he said it will make me lose at least 20 pds just from taking it. I am on meridia too, and I am about to choke on my tongue my mouth is so dry! lol Thx, Candi By the way that meridia is EXPENSIVE!!!!!! > It's a little bit high.
