Sez
has started again!!
I posted a week or so ago about a mega headache I was suffering. Well, its back with a vengeance. I am not sure why. I feel very shaky, almost teary, and my tum feels a bit nauseous too.
Last week at my gp (when I asked to go on the pill at the grand age of 43!) my BP was slightly elevated (altough he did not tell me the figures). He asked if it had been normal throughout my LL checks, which I confirmed it had. (Mind you, he would know if they didnt charge for these check ups..he was so chuffed I had lost 6 stone, no thanks to anyone else...but thats another rant!) He said if it was normally that level he would not have given the pill, but trusted me to be sensible and to report back my next BP check results. I am very nervous of GP visits, so it is entirely possible that nerves sent the BP up anyway.
Today I had it checked by the lovely lady at Lloyds, who always does it. The first reading was 141/83, with a pulse of 60, she tested again (although no need to ) and the reading was 137/91, with a pulse of 62. She said she had no concerns at all as they were both at the high end of normal, ie not a worry. Also the machine did keep beeping "error" and she said it could have been a bit touchy!
I am wondering if the headache is just one of those things, or if I need to be concerned? The only I have done differently lately is to re-introduce coffee into my daily diet. I do not enjoy black coffee, but recently discovered that with one sweetener in, I find it quite palatable. I have never had sugar or whatever in my tea & coffee before. My husband thinks that the coffee could be causing the headaches, as my body is more used to running on water and green mint tea nowadays.
I used to get lots of headaches, almost daily in my pre LL days. I put it down to the junk I was filling myself with. I drank lots and lots of coffee then, and also found the headaches worse if I had a choco-fest, which was a fairly frequent occurance.
i wold really value any input or thoughts you may have. My crooked thoughts are telling me the wobbly feeling and the headaches are because I need to eat normally again......
