I am labeling this journal as frustrating because having hypothyroidism is HELL!! I am on this damn thyroid pill for the rest of my life....why cant I just be NORMAL AGAIN? I always wonder did I make the right choice in selecting to have the RAI over just taking the medication.
I want my Good Health Back.....I havent been on in a while because I have been Up and Down, trying to get back in shape, Enjoying my girls and just thankful I am here to enjoy them.
There are so many uncertainties in everything, but its all good....GOD IS GOOD!!
I hope everyone is ok.
Love to you all,
Anisa~

Just reading your journal--and I can't believe that what I read, is what I feel too. My heart goes out to you Anisa, because from experience I also wonder about the choice I made, but what's done is done--and I guess we will both have to live with that. And as your friend Mandy68 says--please focus on the positive. Take care of yourself. Adele56

Considering your age and fitness level, the 161/111 reading could very well have been anxiety and panic driven (lots of adrenaline) -- especially after 5mg of lisinopril brought it down to 102/67. Keep in mind that lisinopril morning BP readings are usually quite low (mine have been 110/68, and the doctor said "perfect!".) But you musn't panic. Panic and anxiety will keep BP elevated for hours -- and even days after. Use your martial arts training to calm your mind. I know that a lot of this is easier said than done -- but regardless, it can and must be done. And, yes you can do it, like so many others have done it. Just don't rush it. Remember, there will be good days and there will be bad days along the way. After a few really good days, that one bad day will seem like the end of the world, but it isn't. Each good day will begin to be better -- even with the bad ones mixed in.

hiya ...i have hbp and anxiety ...i take atenolol and lisinopril ..just a thought ..if youre having real problems with light-headedness /dizzy did you know that both these drugs cause dizziness and that most doctors will allow you to take lisinopril at bed time ...thats when i take lisinopril bedtime ..i really ..really know how you feel cause most days i feel awful with low bp which makes me feel anxious then the anxious turns into anxiety and the anxiety sometimes turns into panic ...you should discuss with your doctor if you can take some of your meds in the evening see if it helps ..but ask doctor first dont go doing it off your own back ....take
care
