My oldest is only 1-1/2 months into the school year and I'm recovering from my second cold. This one was quite a doosie too. It also happened to coincide with my youngest child’s 1st birthday party so I got to play hostess during it and then the next day I could hardly move.

My dd is 12 yo and gave me a cold last week.... It hit me like a ton of bricks and I have been barely functioning ever since... I agree with the other poster that stress has a great deal to do with it... I really don't think it is BP itself... I am continually stressed out by having to deal with my BP as well as child rearing, etc. That said, I rarely catch colds but haven't been taking my vitamins like I usually do so I have resumed them as well as my cod liver oil. I am also scheduling a doc appt so that I can get a flu shot. I would suggest the same for you... Especially with your children being smaller...they bring home everything...
