Yesterday I had chemtherapy for the first time in two weeks and my blood pressure was higher than the doctor was comfortable with, so he prescribed high-blood pressure medication. I didn't have high blood pressure until I was hospitalized last year and they told me I have cancer. Of course my blood pressure was high. It didn't lower it any when the nurses burst into my hospital room at 3 a.m. to take it.
I don't know why my blood pressure was high yesterday, but today it was bck to normal and I haven't filled the prescription yet. if they would just increase my prescription of Valium, not only would my blood pressure drop, I'd be in a much calmer frame of mind that would keep me from wanting to throttle the driver of the SUV who was on a cell phone and reaching over the back seat to attend to her child when the traffic light turned green.
