What are the odds of taking antibiotics

My last two pregnancies I've had trouble with high blood pressure, and the other day I went to see my doctor to check my blood pressure & he suggested that I take ramilich to lower my blood pressure which maybe caused by stress.
He also recommended that I take a blood test & made an appointment for me to see a cardiologist.
As it turned out, my blood test indicates a borreliosis or Lyme disease. I have no symptoms of any of what I read in this forums, except at one time I had taken antibiotics for a cough & I had an excruciating headache after taking the antibiotics. My doctor tells me that because I have Lyme disease that I had the headache. It's been one year ago when I experienced the horrible headache that didn't go away for weeks.
Now , I am told that I have borreliosis & my doctor recommended that I should take antibiotics for three weeks.
How am I supposed to be sure that one year ago & my blood test result last week is really from Lyme disease??
I don't even remember getting bite by a tick.

At lunch break, I found out that my oldest son got bite by several ticks during summer camp two years ago. There were no symptoms, but will have him tested for Lyme.

The symptoms I have is mainly stress & possibly related to high blood pressure. Blood pressure runs in my family... so I would fear for my heart.

Hi Jackie, I will look for these symptoms in my own body. It's really good to know these symptoms. I don't fear the antibiotics or even these symptoms.
I'm in my 40's & I kind of look forward more to my Menapause especially since my husband decided that after 6 kids, he does not want to have anymore children and I've always wanted 8 ; ).
It is shocking to know that I have Lyme. The doctor can't tell when I had it or how long ago. Even for me, this was really a big surprise. I'm sad that I have it, and finding the remedy, the proper way to heal is exhausting I'm sure (a sign of its own). I still feel bless that I don't have very bad symptoms... I'm not in the position to desperately try out everything that might help me (let nature take its course) and hopefully that my body is strong enough to deal with it.
However, at anytime if my doctor suggest that I should fight against this Lyme disease using medication, I will jump to do it or will gracefully waltz my way to the hospital... ; )
