Health (--)
Went back to the ER again, last night after I got home from work.
I managed through the shift, and my body was actually calm and relaxed for the last half of the shift, but as soon as I got home and sat down here, my blood pressure just started climbing. I took a pill, and it didn't stop. My back had an ache in the upper-middle area, my shoulders and neck were tight, the base of my skull was aching, and my ears were ringing.
It got up to 180/100. They gave me more meds at the hospital. I calmed down, and eventually got sent back home with no answers.
All of this is new within the last 2-3 weeks, and it is TERRIFYING.
I'm calling in to work, today. I don't care if this is going to get me in trouble. It shouldn't. I just don't have anything to point to beyond anxiety.
EVERYTHING makes me worry... I suppose that's part of this...
I gotta make some medical calls, today.

@JulieSqveakaroo Ugh, I should freaking *hope* your employers will take "my blood pressure was through the roof" as a good reason to call in! Best of luck hun, please keep us all posted, will be fretting. <3

It's more that I'm out of sick days, and I need documentation. They've been good about it, thus far.
