Hi

My blood pressure has gone up from 116/65 to 155/102. I can't think why that would be. Doctor rechecking in a couple of weeks.

only thing i can think of is i have got an ovarian cyst which is giving me some discomfort.

Any ideas,

Jane

Hi Jane,

If it's giving you discomfort, then it could be Autonomic Dysreflexia.

There's more info on AD here: http://www.apparelyz.../autonomic.html

Mention the AD to your doctor, if he gives you a blank look, get him to refer you back to your spinal unit.

Regards

Simon

It sounds like it could possibly be autonomic dysreflexia , inform your doctor of this and get it properly checked out as soon as possible
The only people who live a blissful existence must be totally ignorant ( I may have an SCI but my personality [or lack of ] is a pre-existing condition )
