Tingling burning sensation in back. Legs, rt hip, & low back throbbing. Neck hurts. Lips extra dry. Mental cloudy (can’t think straight).
11.11a Just got call from on call Dr. Explained what’s going on and that I’m a lightning survivor. He said my Bp is currently not high enough to do anything. Asked how high it needs to be. He said 160/100 before he can warrant starting me on Bp rx. Have to call Dr Meadows on Monday to ask what to do. Can take migraine rx for the migraine.
Dr I spoke with doesn’t think Hydrochlorothiazide is a sulfa drug. I told him it was a sulfa drug and I’m allergic. Yet my pharmacist said it was and the info on internet says it is and my body reacted as if it was. Hmm??
Even the paper that comes with it precautions “may contain inactive ingredients such as sulfites”. Case closed.
So frustrating!! I need personal Dr in private practice that will care. God please help!
