My blood pressure and pulse have been all over the place today and the last time I took it it was 124/94 and my pulse was 114.
I feel crappy. Just some aches and pains and nausea. I threw up last night twice. I'm going through med withdrawels I don't really like going to the ER. They are kinda dissmisive. And they make me sit in the hallway and you can hear all the nurses and doctors talking __________________ I'm Blue |

No that’s not serious. Blood pressure fluctuates it’s normal. Do what your mother suggested.

Maybe you could try tracking your caffeine intake. Seems like you mentioned coffee and dew a few times the past day or two? I am super sensitive to caffeine. One coffee, okay. Two, or one and a coke, and i am a jjitttteerry mess.
Jittery. I reset my keyboard time to long from medium. Wtf. |

Are you taking your blood pressure sitting? You are supposed to sit and do something neutral for 5 minutes before you take the blood pressure. Blood pressure is higher when you stand. Try measuring after you have been sitting for at least 5 minutes. __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |
