My blood pressure is high at this time 202/108

Normally I run all levels of my medical problems are completely in normal range. I am trying to figure out how I can lower my blood pressure. I will not have my medicine frr

Since medication is what controls your blood pressure you need to stick with that Hun... I don't know how you normally get your medication.. via pharmacy or mail order. If you get it at a pharmacy, you can go to the same branch (if you use a chain pharmacy) Walgreen's, CVS etc.. they can usually give you enough of your order till hold you till you get home. I have done that several times myself.. Other wise with your pressure being high right now.. if you have an urgent care near you that would be your other option.. I know it's frustrating especially since you had to leave town due to the situation, which I'm sorry for the loss.. So just try to relax as best as you can.. You do have some options.

Hope you feel better soon. If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don’t forget to click the *accept* button!
