Blood Pressure ^^

[Ace_of_Spades]

So.. High blood pressure runs in my family, and my doctor told me to monitor mine, 'cause it's been high a lot, and i haven't been, because my doctor's office is like 1.5 hours away, so it's a pain to drive there all the time, so if i'm 'healthy' i don't have to waste my time :D But anyways, i keep almost fainting even if i am just sitting down and doing nothing, so.. is this a big problem? Or should i continue my 'treatment' of ignoring it? ^^

Asking the question is answering it.

If your fainting were related to your blood pressure than you would have low blood pressure. You can buy a blood pressure monitor thingy or if you have a store with a pharmacy most have monitors there for free.

P.S for future reference this should be in VT hospital. "Drugs and Meds" is a forum for drug/addiction help

Please don't backseat moderate. Reporting the thread is good enough. If the OP had mentioned any use of medications for the problem it would have been acceptable in the section.

However, they did not so:

Drugs and Meds :arrow: VT General Hospital

I would get it checked out if I were you. That isn't normal, and could be something dangerous. I used to have something called Neurally Mediated Syncope, which meant I was prone to getting lightheaded/dizzy/fainting randomly, and it typically came while I was sitting. This is my advice, but I am not a doctor. I am simply going off of what I know and have experienced.

They prescribe a treatment for a reason. Stay with it. You answered your own question.

Thanks for the suggestions, and sorry about placing it in the wrong one, i wasn't paying attention when i wrote it, i just saw 'meds' and thought it was medical, but then i didn't know how to put it in the proper category when i realized my mistake.

I cannot agree with Josiah more...having high blood pressure myself I would suggest you stick with the treatment, the last thing you need to do is stroke...
