Elevated Bp must be a common problem. Also gastrointestinal issues. I’m dealing with both. Just decreased to 4 mg from 5 today. When I visited my rheumatologist 2 weeks ago my Bp was 164 and somehow my primary care got word of it.
She had me track my bp for a week and numbers weren’t good. I’ve doubled my meds and still getting high numbers. Prednisone has caused both problems and can’t wait to eliminate it from my life.
My primary care doctor is out of the office too for the holidays. It is hard to consult with someone who doesn’t really know you.
Hope we survive this!
