I need help!

Recommended Posts

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.

It siounds like you would have lots of energy.  I would probably do something to burn off the energy - and take in sports drinks for the salt.

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.
