I guess it's my turn. Had what I hope was indigestion Saturday evening, however, BP went up to 232/112. Blast! Went to the cardiologist today, Echocardiogram and Stress Test scheduled for next week.
Sigh...
Girlfriend and my family seem to think that one cannot live on coffee and cigars.
Sigh...again

I take BP meds so I can live off coffee and cigars.
Keep us posted how it turns out. That is crazy high.

Omg. I thought mine was terrible when it was at 170/98.
And the total discomfort I felt at that level was a nightmare.
I can't imagine what your were going through.
The new meds they have me on have my blood pressure down to 108/68.
Sure make sleeping a lot nicer.
Be careful and take care of yourself.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
So when I started this low sodium crap, I was about 185 lbs.
Last night, before I went to bed I stepped on the scale and I am at 170 now.
So in a week, I've lost 15 lbs.
Granted, I've cut back a lot of treats, but I still have my snacks, so changing the way I eat, is definitely making a difference.
In another week, I will go to bringing some sodium back. But it will still be about half what normal should be.
At first, I hated this. Now, I am getting used to it and it really isn't terrible.
Once I start bringing salt back a little, I think I can do this.

138/76 today. I got to thinking about it, and for the 2 weeks prior to that episode I ate a lot more salt than I usually do. Normally, if you find my fingerprint on a salt shaker, it means someone asked: please pass the salt. But, every once in awhile, I get salt cravings, and it usually lasts a week or two. Gotta watch myself.

You are probably right.
From what they tell me, that is probably very accurate.

Hope it settles down @Amos_Umwhat.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
