I posted about a burning sensation in my leg recently. I also have high blood pressure and my medication was changed just over 2 weeks ago.
My blood pressure seems to be going up rather than down. Latest readings have ranged from 151/95 to 190/109 which was taken around 8pm this evening. My other readings have included 165/101, 175/93 and 167/105.
Readings have all been taken when relaxed and resting. The burning and tingling in my leg seems to be worse. Does anyone know if high blood pressure can cause these symptoms? I'm really starting to worry. My Hba1c at my recent annual review was ok (49) although two separate blood sugar readings this evening were 11.6 and 9.3 - I tested twice as I couldn't get a reading off the first two test strips and thought I had a false reading on the 11.6.
I have made a Drs appointment for a day or so before my new blood pressure meds run out but now I'm thinking about trying to get one this week and changing it!
Feeling stressed out and worried
