Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Thank you to everyone who e-mailed me when my blood pressure was so high--bottom number 120. The cardiologist had me call my internist who immediately called in a prescription for me-- Benicar--for bp--and he told me to continue monitoring the pressure. If the bottom number goes up to 120 again, I am to call an ambulance. The pressure is leveling out (was going to high and then dropping too low) and I am beginning to feel better. We know the problem is coming from the brainstem and not the heart. Thank you to all who were concerned and helpful. ************************************ Martha in Georgia *********************************** ACM I--NO herniation--Surgery--01-16-00 Tonsil was wrapped around the brainstem--(major brainstem comopression) causing the brainstem to be against the skull Tonsilectomy, Laminectomy C1-C7, Duraplasty, Decompression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
