Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have many relatives with HBP. My Sophomore
year in High School I was being tested for HBP because of occasions of
going to the doctor and having HBP. I did not follow through with the
testing though because I became scared. I am now a Junior in College, with
a history of depression and being on Zoloft and Depakote. I have always
had a fear of seeing doctors because I don't want to know what is wronge,
but I went last week, and the doctor wants to monitor my BP. I was just
wondering right now if there would be other tests to follow if they
find a problem with my BP. Thanks.
