I've been feeling sick all day and since like 2 I've been throwing up everything and I've had this bad heartburn all day and I've tried everything.

I took my blood pressure a couple times but I took it 10 minutes ago and it was 171/102.

Is that bad? I also have jaw and shoulder pain and I feel weak in general.

I just started a new med yesterday that has a serious interaction with my Geodon.

Hey, I'd suggest you get it checked out... im saying this as mines was 196/123 and there are implications that come with high blood pressure. I'm now on 2 blood pressure tabs I'm under the care of the Cardiovascular Team at my local hospital and I take a chloestrol tab too!

You need to go to ER with blood pressure of 171/102.

It would be really sensible to go straight to your ER or Accident & Emergency department with this, just to be on the safe side and get checked out. At the very least call your Doctor's reception and explain your symptoms, and ask their advice - I would hope they would tell you to get checked out immediately. It's far better to seek professional advice than sit worrying. I am sure they will look after you quickly and get your situated treated effectively.

Best wishes,

It’s still too high for your age. You need to see a doctor immediately if not going to the hospital. It’s not ok

I took it last night for the first time all day and it was 150/100. I didn't have any caffeine. My mom just said take it again tonight and that I'm too focused on my health.

150/100 is still too high

Do you consume a lot of sodium?

No one really cares anymore to be honest. Like my insurance company called on Friday and cancelled my CT scan for tommorow. So I'm kinda on my own now. I'm focusing on just losing weight and excercising and ignoring all the other stuff.

Losing weight might be the least of the problems. You sound very sick past several months
