Without meds my blood pressure is 160/100 with meds it's 130/85. I'm on the catapres patch .1mg and it's the only med that doesn't give me terrible reactions. I still have side effects from the med but it's the lesser of the evils. My question is Ive been diagnosed with primary high blood pressure and I'm 27 years old and 5"10' 185lbs. Does anybody have any idea why I feel so crappy all the time???

I suffer from what is called Polycystic Kidney Disease (google it) which causes chronic kidney stones. Many people have this disease with no signs until they are much older. When their kidneys begin to fail them. The main symptom is high blood pressure beginning as a young adult. why? Because your kidneys are working too hard fighting off the cysts and they are not filtering correctly. I was diagnosed with PKD in July last year after a car accident. I just happened to decide to see a friend who happened to also be a urologist as I did not have medical insurance and knew he would let me pay it out.  He ran a series of tests and came to find I had chronic kidney stones. A total of 6. Just in there. Probably been there for years. If you have high blood pressure on top of chronic stones I highly recommend you get tested. A CT scan is the best way to get diagnosed and make sure you see a Urologist who. If you would like to here more about my story I will happily tell you. Before you get tested you need to know this is a fatal disease and this will affect your ability to get life insurance and affordable health care if you do not have it prior.

Facial Flushing, anxiety, Weak.  I feel shaky all the time but i think that's because I've been sleep deprived for 6 months.
