Trying to keep my blood pressure down is very hard at present. I'm been suffering with symptoms that have caused my gallbladder lots of problems on top of chronic pain. As being in pain every day is hard enough, but to have this on top of all my condition has taken its toll on my body. Since May 24, I cannot eat anything but a jacket potato as everything else causes so much pain that I have passed out with. So trying to keep my blood pressure down has been hard. I'm on 3 blood pressure tablets and I do colouring or sewing to help with chilling out, to focus on something else than pain. Using mindfulness techniques as well. It does help. I just need to keep calm so that they is no problems when I finally get the operation I need to get better
