So last week I went back to the Dr because my finger STILL isn’t feeling 100%, and I had been on SERIOUS antibiotics for over a week. When I get to the examination room, I try to relax a bit, taking deep breaths, hoping that the medication for the blood pressure had had some effect. So imagine my surprise when the nurse took my blood pressure and it was 124/84…

Yeah, let THAT sink in a bit.

My Dr in to examine my finger, and I mentioned the blood pressure. He was just a tad surprised as well. Then it hit me – I asked him if it was possible that my constant sudafed taking could have artificially raised my blood pressure that much. He said it absolutely could have, and since I hadn’t taken it in over a week (I have had awful sinus issues since my little guy was born), it probably WAS the culprit, and I could discontinue the blood pressure medication…

UGH

So, yeah – no more high blood pressure, thank goodness. But now I have to find alternatives to relieving the pain in my face most mornings…

PS – “The Women” was great! Full review to come!!
