Ryan,

My mom is being monitored weekly for HER high blood pressure as well as meds, and yes, it can fluctuate on a daily basis, depending on a range of outside factors. Stress, weather, health (cold, flu, etc.) nerves. I was freaked when she told me. She too had to modify her diet and "life" habits as well.

Did your gastro give you any other advice besides modifying your diet and to quit your "vices"?

Relax...this too shall pass. The only thing to do is take it one day at a time, you are aware of the problem, watch your diet, try to get some exercise (playing with the ferrets IS exercise!) if you can't quit smoking, cut back, etc, etc, etc.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jenn
