Q: memory problems and tiredness with high blood pressure

Alright, this is going to be a long post. Ever since the age of 17 (I'm now 22), I've experienced weird problems that no one else my age has. The first thing that came along with being tired and having major memory problems. I'm always tired. I can sleep 9-10 hours and still be tired all day and want more sleep. I have to force myself to remember things short term. I'm very spacey all the time and I think that is what is causing the memory issues. I feel like I can never think clearly. 30 minutes after EXTREME excercise, my blood pressure was 145/90. I'm sure it was A LOT worse right afterwards. My doctor said my blood pressure should never be over 140/90 for an reason. I have weird circulation issues and my arms will randomly fall asleep when I'm laying down and in extreme situations, just when I'm using a keyboard, they will tingle some. I have these problems every day. I even took my blood pressure the other day, after drinking about 32-40 ounces of pop and it read 155/90. That was even after I tried to calm myself down. My normal blood pressure is in the up 120's. I DO have ADHD, but I've had it my whole life, of course, but have never had any weird issues like this until 17. Also, I can feel my heart pound when I lay down. I can see the vein on the side of my neck pulsating when I look in the mirror without touching it. If I press down on it, it goes crazy and you can feel the blood pulse really strong. I also think I have a twist in my body because the zipper on my jeans is about an inch to the left of my belly button. It doesn't feel comfortable if I line it up with my belly button. Also, if I pace myself and jog, I can do about 2 miles...I'm tired, but I can do it. Though, if I run as fast as I can for about 10 seconds, my heart goes crazy and I can feel it pounding STRONG. No matter what kind of exercise I do, I feel like crap. I'm 6 foot tall and about 190 pounds. People say I look just like an other person that is 6 foot tall, so I'm not fat. Please help. You have no idea how much this problem bothers me. Also, I went to the doctor and they said my cholesterol was normal. I will do whatever I can to pay back any advice you guys can give me. THANKS!!!!! Smile
