Hi everyone,

I have been suffering form high blood pressure for the last 2 months. I have never had high blood pressure before in my life. I was first put on diaretics (spelling??). They did not bring it down. Now I have been on beta-blockers for about 2 weeks and my blood pressure is still somewhat elevated. I am seeing a cardiologist on the 24th for some testing. I am also on pretty strong meds for my back pain that should drop my blood pressure. So the fact that it's high isnt very good.

I was wondering if anyone else suffered from these kinds of symptoms due to pain. My feeling is that my body is dealing with so much pain that it's creating my blood pressure to go up.

To tell you guys the truth, I feel like my whole body is falling apart and I'm only 32 years old. It would be just nice to know that I am NOT going crazy and these symptoms sometimes happen.
