I have pass through this type of problem, which took all the money in my account.

Your problem is stomach ulcer,

They are two type peptic and gastric.

The one that can cos all this your problem is gastric ulcer.

Symptoms are : fast hart beat, headache, chest pain that reviate to the upper back, insomnia as a result of too much acid in you system which normally wakes you up, fake high blood pressure, fatigue, feeling like fainting, over anxious and many more.

And just like mine, it is about to cos you what is called anxiety disorder when you will be hearing the sound of your pulse and having a seizure on the left neck region.


If you have confirmed all this symptoms that I mentioned above, just let me tell you how to take back your life and confident back.

OP
I suggest you do regular exercise. Stressed from work is different from exercise. When last did you do an exercise that really makes you sweat, like seriously sweat? Try a serious exercise this evening and see if you won't sleep. Without the sleep, you will keep experiencing those HBP and the rest. Summary, try exercise.

OP, I would bet a months pay you have sleep apnea, but that would be speculation. You could mention this to your doctor and see if you can do a sleep study. Your BP is still at a level that could probably be managed by diet and EXERCISE! EXERCISE! EXCERCISE!
I mention excercise because it will first of all help you sleep, and second lower your blood pressure. Start slow, walking and slow jogging. If you have access to any equipment that enable low impact aerobic excercise like an elliptical or rowing machine, go for it.
Swimming is also a good form of low impact excercise. If you work out in the evening after work, you should be tired enough to fall asleep by bedtime. The more sleep you get, hopefully your blood pressure will come down.
I would avoid most prescription sleeping pills as there is a likelihood of dependence and addiction. Try melatonin, it supports the bodies natural sleep cycle and is non addictive. Wish you the best as you work things out.

Good day people,

A month ago, I suddenly started feeling pain in my chest and dizzy eyes and numb palms and feet, I thought it was shortness of blood because I have been stressed for the past 6 months waking up out of bed getting into traffic to work and coming back in traffic late at night.

The chest pain feeling like my heart skipping a beat still didn’t go away, i couldn’t get a sound sleep every morning I wake up unrefreshed and tired through out the day

I checked my blood pressure one day at the pharmacy and it was abnormally high and I’m just 26 I went to the doctor and conducted PCV to check my blood count, malaria test and fasting sugar, all came out normal, he suspected angina so I also did an ECG which also came out normal, the doctor gave me paracetamol, vitamin B12 capsule and since then that is how I have been frequenting the hospital, each time the blood pressure still high.

Last week I was still at the doctor last Thursday and my BP was 148/96 at my age, yet the doctor doesn’t really tell me much he just keep prescribing the same sleeping pills and vitamin B12 and iron capsule.

Right now I presently can’t help myself to sleep, my day is always filled with fatigue, headache, dullness, I lose concentration at work, I can’t seem to get anything done because my eyes get heavy and my head be pounding me seriously. I don’t know what is going on I’m gradually losing the sharp young man I used to be.

Please, I don’t know if anybody has gone through a phase like this or if we have experienced doctors in the house please.

Please I need all the help I can get

You need a good rest not drugs. Take a vacation because if for at that age, you will probably be forgotten after six months.
Take care of yourself because no one will.

I have gone through that before. The bp is too high for your age, although in America that I am the normal blood pressure has been raised from 120/75 to 140/80 as the standard of doctors standard. However you need blood pressure medication to lower it. The numbness you have in the past is only God that saves you those are the signs of heart ❤️ attack. Don't die Young control your blood pressure like me.

Mayordy Go get a second doctor's opinion! Monitor ur BP at the same time every day for about a week making sure to check it in the same conditions. Take this with you to the doctor. Explain your symptoms and history of numbness, headaches and dizziness please.
If you can go to another doc ASAP please do and tell the doctor you would like to monitor your bp if he doesnt give you meds to control it after the first visit.

I find it strange that someone would suggest ginger and lime? Absolute bulls**t.
Well The ginger is OK but what's with the lime.
Garlic is what you need. Even A 5yr old knows that garlic is the best natural anti HBP remedy out there. The ginger is an anti inflammatory.
So try these two and find yr BP starts to drop. If in doubt Google the medicinal value or garlic

Am afraid you have high blood pressure, which is a bit bizarre considering your age. Am in my 40's and I have problem with my bp as well and I must tell you it not a pleasant experience. Firstly I suggest you see another doctor, especially a government hospital. Secondly, cut down drastically on your salt intake, because salt is largely a major reason for this health condition. Thirdly, check if any of your parents have this health condition as this will help to know if you start taking local herbs immediately. Eat lot of vegetables and if possible for now, stop using seasoning for any of your food. Please be advice see a medical practitioner to confirm first before resulting to self medication. Yes, some of the drugs can be expensive but they save your life at least at the initial stage. Ensure you take the drugs for as long as possible and when you are better, then you can experiment with the local herbs, that's if it's not heredity. Keep me posted of how when you're doing, cheers.

OP listen to this person. Please dont self medicate and get to another doctor ASAP.
Re: Please Help, Insomnia Is Killing Me by studentofTruth: 1:52am On Oct 04, 2019
OP, I don't pray to welcome you to the club.

I have been there and still suffer the same thing — since 2007. Fortunately, yours isn't chronic yet. While I won't advise you to quit your job (like I did), because of the nature of the country, you need to find ways to reduce stress and relax better.

Medications are not usually the solution, though they may help in the short term. Reducing stress and exercising regularly will help you. Breathing deeply while in bed may help too. Don't forget to switch off the lights before going to bed. I have found that reading funny comments here, while in bed, helps me laugh hard, and it tends to improve my sleep — probably the brain releasing more relaxing chemicals like the endorphins.

But medically, having an elevated blood pressure at your age isn't normal. While it seems to be as a result of the stress, the right thing is to rule out other possible causes of elevated blood pressure in the young, such as hyperadrenalism, thyroid conditions, and kidney conditions. So, if you have enough money, I will suggest you visit the hospital and do the necessary tests — Adrenal hormonal assays, Thyroid function test, Kidney function test, and abdominal ultrasound.

Your blood pressure being high is the main reason for your insomnia and I hope you know that sleeping pills increases our blood pressure so you need to proscribe it from the list of drugs prescribed for you. I will also advise that you see a trained practitioner. He should prescribe better drugs for you for the HBP. You don't need to panic because I am guessing yours is stress- induced HBP and if that is the case, the BP will go back to normal once you start resting well and taking your drugs religiously (plus a little lifestyle changes). I hope you don't drink or smoke? If you are plus sized, you need to exercise. Cut down on the salt, sugar, carbs, etc. You will be fine. Note that the HBP drugs should help you sleep so no need to take sleeping pills. Also, you can incorporate honey before bed, it helps me sleep so your case shouldn't be different.

Yes. The HBP is the reason for your insomnia. And believe you me, if you keep worrying, the BP will never go back to normal. People with HBP are known to smile even when in discomfort. This expression actually means that you have to make yourself happy. Surround yourself with friends and family that make you happy. Eliminate anyone or anything that makes you sad. Turn a blind eye to those work conditions that troubles you.
