Scared

What you don't want to hear when your doctor takes your blood pressure...

"that's alarming"
"that can't be right"...
(it was 218/143)
she repeated this several times before she left the room.
Then the nurse wheeled in an EKG machine...Thank God my heart is fine...
The doctor fears something may be wrong with my kidneys which is causing high blood pressure...
I am very very scared.
I have not shown anyone how scared I am because I am trying to protect my husband and children from worrying...
