Thanks for checking in… I turned in my monitor on Thursday and had a message yesterday to check my chart. There was no report so I put in a call to the doctor and haven’t heard anything back yet. It could take 5 to 7 days for a reading but why the my chart message?!🤷🏻♀️
I have a feeling my issues are all due to the prednisone and have two more days of one mg. I will be so glad to be off to see how my body reacts.
I have cataract surgery scheduled for March and April. Just have a concern about being on Kevzara that I need to sort out. Someone on here posted about needing to be off Actemra for knee surgery so I wonder if cataract surgery would have the same need to be off kevzara.
Did you not feel different when your BP rose over 200? I do know checking it so often can cause anxiety for higher readings. I just check it in the morning before breakfast unless I feel odd. Last few days I haven’t gotten the irregular heartbeat notification so very anxious to hear my results.
Assume I’ll get a call today.

I thought my little home blood pressure machine malfunctioned when it said my BP was 210/110. I was getting ready for work and since I worked at a hospital I decided to have a nurse recheck my blood pressure at work. I didn't have any symptoms but the nurse took me to the emergency room when she got the same 210/110 reading. I wasn't anxious about anything because that isn't my nature. I think the nurse panicked more than me because I didn't want to go to the emergency room.
When the emergency room checked me in my blood pressure was still 200/100. Nothing was done in the emergency room to decrease my blood pressure. It was strange how it slowly returned to normal about 2 hours later.
