Crazy High BP without symptoms

[buddygal]

Three weeks ago, my BP began to record in the 240/140 to 190/130ish everyday and that's with Beta Blocker pills.  I do get severe and intense stomach distress.  No other symptoms.  What could cause such an extremely high BP?  Was put on Lisinopril -an ACE inhibitor - but shouldn't dr be trying to discover WHY my BP has shot up so high?

Glad to hear you saw your doctor and it's being monitored!  I've been down the road with my gallbladder, the surgery isn't too bad to recover from if they do it laproscopically (which they almost always do if possible).

Good luck, check in when you can!

No panic attacks - BP starst escalating in afternoon n even when I take PM Atenolol med it wont come down.  Dr started Lisinoprol this afternoon.  One test back with serious gallbladder issue - so surgery is scheduled, clear liquid diet ordered and minimal activity until surgery. Hope this is all that is wrong.

I am not sure what would be causing the spikes...is this happening during a panic attack or something?

Please call your doctor right away.  Those BPs are dangerously high and NOTHING to mess with.

Let us know what the doc says!
