About 2 years ago my blood pressure went nuts.
This was durring a time that my doctor was treating me for depression and decided it was a good idea for me to quit smokeing as well, so he put me on welbutrin(also known as xyban)...

Something broke...

One night I felt like crap, shooting pains up my neck jaws hurt arms where stiff....

My blood pressure that night went to 180/130 it got as high as 193/133 at the hospital, they where popping nitro glyceryn under my tounge like it was going out of style, about the time that they decided to check me for heart damage with an x-ray they decided to sedate the hell out of me. They gave me an IV injection of something and off to lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala land I went.

My blood pressure normalized and they sent me on my way. With instructions to see the doctor the next day.

They found no damage, they found nothing a cardio specialist found that my right ventrical was enlarged which happens but found no blockage or anything odd with ultrasound.

To this day nobody knows what happened but I do have hypertension, It is treated with a drug called norvasc which I take 10mg a day of, my bloodpressure rarely goes over 135/90 now.

I dont eat salt in my diet...I never add salt to food and I watch my sodium levels, I do smoke and I do consume far to much caffine. It took close to a year and a half to recover and adjust from this period, with the medicine lowering my bloodpressure to rock bottom rates now its about even at 125/75-85

One sitting of 152/102 is not that bad, to properly get a good reading do it over 3 times in a day. Make sure you are at rest, not on drugs and not having just eaten. Your blood pressure does indead flucuate alot durring the day.

I'm actualy more concerned with the distolic being over 102 than the systolic being at 152.

Anyway when in doubt work with your doctor. Unfortunatly I ditched my doctor durring this, luckaly I had found one I liked right after.

Just cought something where you said you had frequent headache's and blurry vision...

GET TO A DOCTOR NOW...
