Blood Pressure Risk Stage 1
I guess I'm wondering how fast I should rush to get this checked or get blood pressure meds. I am 1 month into an antidepressant, and have discovered my blood pressure is a bit high. That being said, based on my research, I have recently been experiencing several health problems that can increase bp, including long term chronic stress and mildly elevated liver enzymes. I don't have a family doc, so I'd have to find a clinic. My question is, can I just keep an eye on it now that this medication may have temp side effects, but is treating my chronic stress risk factor? I am finally not having panic attacks and losing weight, so losing those may decrease my blood pressure over time right? At what point do I really have to worry and go to the doctor?
