I had an MRI about two weeks ago, to find out why I was having headaches.
My neurologist, Doctor G who has been so wonderful in treating my epilepsy , came in the room when I was in his office for the report on the visit, and the first words out of his mouth were.,
"Mitch, you had a mini stroke, a couple of months ago "
I'm about 20 lbs overweight, the same weight that I've been carrying around since my Dad nearly died, and I started taking the Botox shots in 2022.
Is it the weight ? I asked him.
No He said.
Is it the migraines and or the epilepsy?
No He said.
According to the Dr, this episode was caused by "Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure"
When the Braves won the WS in 2021, I was 166 lbs. Since my Dads and my health issues started in 2022, I've gained weight, and I'm now around 200.
I've also been having memory issues, the Dr said it "Could be" due to the mini stroke.
I amended the report for my constantly in pain 84 year old father. He knows I have memory loss, but I told him it was because of a seizure.
I now have to go see my favorite internist, and have tests.
I dont quite understand how I take BP meds every day, and the BP is still high.
I'm not.. 50 or 100 lbs overweight. The overweight is about what it was when I lived in PA about 20 lbs.
Yet, I've had high BP since I'm 35
I just have to do the best I can.
Hopefully, the BP will come down, and this will not happen again.
