great advice there SR. i was just wondering here dan if the docs you have seen have ever actually 'looked for' the very real basic reason FOR someone your very young age to even BE suffering with that high of consistantly running BPs? the HA and the stroke too could all be interconnected in certain ways to the underlying BP as well? but finding out, thru specific types of testing, exactly 'why' your overall BPs are running soo very dangerously high truely would be the very best way to even begin to try and treat that alone, thus lowerig MANY othjer possible risks/complications too?
have they EVER done something like a simple abdominal ultrasound on you to simply really 'see' what your overall kidneys are "looking like" in there? simply doing 'blood labs' alone would not always actually show what could be actually going om inside of any given organ, even when those labnurabers/ratios "appear' to be "perfect" in many people? labs wont change the nurabers to even begin to actually 'go out of the norm range" until one thing starts to actually occer in us, and that IS very definite 'function loss or impact' brought on by possibly and underlying type of yet un diagnosed type of kidney disease or problem within the adrenal glanRAB that sit atop each kidney? the kidneys and adrenals simply play a very hughe part in regfulating our BPs in us. there just has to be a very definite 'balance of the release of renin only when actuqally need3d in order to actually maintain 'normal range for age BPs".
i have both a kidney and a liver disease, and none of my 'functions" had ever been affected, tho i did not have a freaking clue i had even been born with an ongoing kindney disease til i had an ultrasound? my labs were absolutely perfect and well within all normal ratios til just last year when i turned 49? despite major and massive cystic destuction that had been going on to kidney and liver tissue inside my own body for many decades. like i mentioned above? it IS that function loss that changes our lab nurabers to even go into the out of range ratios?
our kidneys are just one really big part of what can create high BPs,and for a few different reasons. have they at least done a simple UA on you to check for whats called 'trace protien" being in your urine at all, ever? that trace protien simply even being in our urine IS just one of the very FIRST initial signs/indicators of a possible underlying kidney disease going on in us. that one test would at this point in you most definetly show up if there by now, if indeed your kidneys are impacted and creating the higher than should be BPs in you.
this just really IS one particular area that NEERAB much further testing than ONLY mere blood labs alone to fully 'show' the kidneys as they really are inside you. getting the labs, that UA just looking for even trace protein along with 'seeing' the kidneys with an US would truely at least rule them in or out as the underlying generator of high BPs in anyone actually. my labs were just wayyy perfect despite all the massive destruction and major enlargemnt of the kidneys and my liver as well. labs only will show 'part' of that bigger picture in most cases when dealing with organs anyways.
is/was there ANY actual family history in either side of your family of heart issues, kidney issues or the higher than norm BPs in someone YOUR young age? or ANY type of 'vascular problems/malformations or events like you had within your brain?
the kidneys are just something that many docs just DO NOT look at more in depth unless some particular lab is out of the norm range? so you DO NEED that much more in depth testing done to really even know the reality of how they are doing.and that UA to simply check your urine for ANY traces of prtein would tell ALOT if positive.
just some stuff i learned the hard way. FB
