Question: Right now my BP is 172/96. Better then yesterday's of 164/103. Of course I have HBP and high cholesterol. I can not afford to go to a doctor now because of circumstances beyond my control. My husband is unemployed now but free clinics still say we make too much. I've already had 4 strokes, the first one being a cva and the next 3 were tia's. I am not on any medication right now but I was on 3 HBP meds and 2 high cholesterol meds. With the 3 meds, my pressure was 140/90. I keep getting this fluttering in my chest which causes me to involuntarily cough. I'm a non smoker/non drinker and I don't do drugs. I suffer with Fibromyalgia also along with so many other problems. Once the docs find out I have fibro, they chalk all my other symptoms up to the fibro and I don't get the help I need anyway. What I'm asking is, what can the fluttering be? I also have been having severe pains in my legs and horrible migraines. And such pressure in my entire face where it feels like I'm going to have a nosebleed and I get "swooshing" noises in my ears. My 1st stroke was in Feb 2008 and the last was just this past XXXXXXX I am only 53 years old. And female. I can not afford any medications. I have absolutely no insurance.
