Ephedra based diet pills leading to hypertension. Constipation. Caffein rush feeling?

22 Apr

I recently saw an ad on T.V. saying that diet pills can aid in hypertension, high blood pressure yada yada and I became worried.

Every now and then my heart feels like it’s speeding but when I check my BPM, they are around 70-80; it doesn’t feel like it’s pumping hard either. (I suppose it almost feels like a caffeine rush except I’ve been avoiding caffeine for a while now.)

Call me a hypochondriac but I’ve also been experiencing bad constipation for months now (about once ever 5 days) which lead to hemorrhoids.

I’m curious as to if there is any relation between these symptoms?

My main question is if it is hypertension… is this permanent?

 

On bed rest, feeling worthless and helpless… what can I do?

13 Mar

I am 38 weeks pregnant, and have been placed on bed rest for the duration due to pregnancy induce hypertension (NOT preeclampsia, or at least not yet anyway). I have no protein in urine or any other symptoms of pre-e, just high BP readings. My BP is fine as long as I am resting in bed, but if I get up and move around at all, even to shower or fix a quick meal for my 7 year old, BP skyrockets and I become dizzy and nauseated. My husband is a departmental manager with 70 employees and a pretty demanding work load, so he can’t be here to help much, and we can’t afford to hire a helper. I feel completely worthless as a wife and mom when I can’t cook our meals, clean our home, do laundry, or anything really. I feel lost, ashamed and helpless, and I don’t know what to do. Would my doctor be willing to induce labor a little earlier than what they consider “term” if it is due to the emotional damage this is causing me? I really don’t know how much more I can take… it’s killing my self esteem and making me severely depressed.
