Im a normally heathy 20 year old. I have a 9 month old and had high blood pressure when I was pregnant but it never became preeclamptic. For about a month and a half I have been getting dizzy spells and have to sit until they pass. Last night I felt unstable in my kitchen and the next thing I knew my boyfriend was calling my name and had called 911. He said I wouldn't respond and was convulsing and dry-heaving for about 90 seconds. When the ambulance got here my blood pressure was 168/145 and my heart rate was in the 160 range. I had shortness of breath and rapid breathing. They checked my blood sugar (115) and did a pregnancy test (neg.). I had a chest xray and an EKG and both seemed fine. They sent me home with 3 tylonol. My pulse ox was 82 and the doctor said the machine was wrong.. I feel like because of my age they're weren't doing everything they could to help me. I can't breathe! My family doctor prescribed anti-anxiety meds but my BP is still high. Any idea please?
