Ihadcancer 319 Posted December 19, 2022 The week before Thanksgiving I spent 4 nights/ 5 days in the hospital with hyponutrenia (too low sodium). One week after discharge my bp was 199/110 from anxiety. The ER doc said it was anxiety and hbp. Since then my health anxiety has returned and I need to find help. I still take klonopin (same dosage for 13 years) but need help calming down. I'm very concerned that I'm dying. My 5 days in the hospital I was monitored for my heart day and night, kidneys, liver all checked out fine. I'd eaten too little and drank massive amounts of water. No other health issues. I need help overcoming this fear and getting my bp down. I'm taking 100 mg Losartan in the a.m. and 25 mg Hydralazine at bed. BP is staying around 160/86. I live west of Atlanta and have Medicare AB and Humana D starting in January. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would probably do something to burn off the energy - and take in sports drinks for the salt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would give this as a moment to pause and make sure you are eating healthy and getting enough calories in, healthy salts, sugars, and fats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
