Day 2, BP still high

Posted 06-27-2008 at 10:52 AM by jeepifer
Did a reading first thing this morning: 147/95. Not happy.

I also had a migraine, had taken 2 Excedrin Migraine, but didn't get much chance to hide under a pillow and let it take effect, as my little one woke up and was bouncing around on my bed.

Still, that's on the high side. *sigh*

I'm increasing my Taurine intake so my med/sups look like:

First thing: BP med & other meds
Breakfast: Dietary supplement
Lunch: Taurine 500mg, plus L-Carnitine 500mg, 2000 Vit D, 1200mg Fish Oil, KS Multi-pack, Dietary supp
Dinner: Taurine 500mg, Dietary supp

I know the taurine will probably keep me shedding water all night, but I do that anyway with the suspected hypoglycemia so not a huge deal (yet).

Also concerned about the morning migraines. Does my blood glucose get so low at some point during the night it causes them? How can I change that? Do I need to eat something like a cheese stick *right* before bed? Or should I reach for a snack immediately in the morning instead of the excedrin if I feel the migraine?

Am seeking the answers to that. In the meantime, getting that BP down is high priority.

On the bright side, eating smaller meals seems to be helping. I only at half my lunch salad, so saved the rest for 2 hours later when it's time to eat again.
