I am very concerned about me stroking out during an attack. Many years ago, my GYN wanted to send me to the hospital right then, but I just wanted something for pain and be left alone. He did as I wanted (he had never seen me full blown before) with the promise that I would return the next day for him to recheck me.
When I returned the next day he told me he was afraid I was going stoke out there in his office.
My normal BP 100/80. Yesterday in the doc's office 156/103 and pulse 114 and that was with only a 4 on the Kip Scale. I bet mine is close to 200 with a full blown 10.
Mine is staying up now all the time with this series. I don't know why, but I am going to discuss this with my PCP next visit. We did a bunch of lab last Friday, I'll get the results tomorrow.
