Bpcyclist, I might add another Seroquel PRN. I woke up at midnight in a sweat with the feeling that my heart was racing. I took my blood pressure and it was an amazing 102/66 with 77 bpm. I know you're a little skeptical about home blood pressure monitors, but mine hadn't been that low for years. Is it because I just woke up at midnight? Or could that blood pressure medication really be helping so quickly? Or other? I'd think that if it was mostly related to what's in my head, it would be higher not lower. Weird!

I need my PRN on my bedside table, but it's not. I don't feel up to getting up and walking to the hallway. My ankle is still not so good. Hubby is not here. He is somewhere else in the house clearing stuff out. [I heard the garage door opening.] If I call loudly, he'll think there is an emergency, which there isn't. I need water, too. Maybe I will try to do a relaxation technique.
Yeah.. Okay. You are doing a great job, Soupe. Proud of you. Here for you always and forever.

Pressures fall over night, usually. Also, that med could definitely be helping a bit. I do totally relate to that bp fear when I am racing and manic that I must be hypertensive, but that is not always the case.

I do like the extra Seroquel idea. I do think you prolly need it to shut the lid on this thing now. Today. Right now. We just cannot have you going IP right now.

We have all been there, Soupe. I was totally manic just last week. You are bravely and responsibly facing your illness. You are my hero. Hugs! Be careful. No major decisions. Seroquel. K?

Check with you later.
