I'm diabetic, taking thyroid medication. Had dinner two hours ago, checked my sugar & blood pressure sugar-250 b/p 154/26---pulse 85
Brief Answer:
Blood pressure need immediate attention
Detailed Answer:
Appreciate your qucik response Sir.
Sugars are pretty normal but pressures are on little higher side, especially the diastolic/lower one(is it 156/126?) is quiet high.Have you taken BP medications teday?
I were to recommend to visit an ER without further delay since they may need adequate control.This might be the cause of shakiness too.Nothing to panic but it is important to lower the numbers else it might result in paralysis or heart attack.
Hope your thyroid profile is normal.
