[PILLS] UMMMMMMMM, no
Okay, so... they put me on these pills for my "high blood pressure", which I've had since I was pregnant with Kyle (12 years ago for those keeping score).

I'm not sure these pills are right for me.

Yesterday was my SECOND DAY taking these pills and they warned me that I'd be a lil dizzy and what not. Um, yeah. Every time I went to stand up and move, it was like I'd just run 12 blocks. My head would start pounding, it was hard to breathe... yeah.

So, last night, I'm laying there and sleeping and then OHMYGOD chest pain. And as I'm laying there, in the dark, trying to calm myself (because I've had chest pain before but not QUITE like this)? All I ended up doing was psyching myself (because my MOM woke up at 1 in the morning with chest pain and DIED) out and I went down the hall to Rach's room (not even coherent, I'm sure) and sitting in her chair. Seriously, my chest still aches this morning.

These pills? I'm not taking them today. I need to go back to the doctor. This was not okay.

It sounds like the dosage is too high, and it's making your blood pressure too low. That happened to my uncle recently, and he's since gone back to the doctor and had them readjust it. Don't take any more pills for sure. Call your doctor back and when they take your blood pressure, tell them to wait until you've been sitting and calm for at least 10 minutes to get an accurate pressure check. Stress, exercise and anger can raise your blood pressure.

If they tell you to keep taking them, cut the pills in half and try them for a couple days. If you still have problems, call your doctor immediately after that and tell them that you're still experiencing alarming symptoms and you cut your dose in half. Dizziness and chest pain aren't things to be fucking around with when you're on meds.
