stressers in your life can contribute, including people stress, eating too much processed food, not enough sleep, water. I think it’s good you are aware of themes it happens, just look for other factors in your life that can contribute - plenty of ideas on web. Good you are under doctor care but many times lifestyle plays a bigger part than we think.
I was told by primary and cardiologist to start statin drug. I resisted for over a year as numbers kept getting more out of range. I finally made lifestyle changes and it dropped 96 points in less than 6 weeks. My primary got mad at me during that time for not starting the Rx statin and she took it up with the board and had me terminated from the practice while in the mean time I had scheduled with another provider in the same practice and had blood redrawn. When a woman from the admin office called to tell me she was resending me letter of termination that I did not accept at postoffice, I explained the first primary was pushing Rx drugs even though me and that primary verbally agreed I had no plans of taking any but vital Rx. I did not need Rx statin i need to change lifestyle and proof was shown when I had lab work by second primary and 96 point drop as well as my thyroid came properly back into range (first primary wanted to up my drug for that) The admin woman told me they would rediscuss and let me know if the board will allow me to continue to see 2nd primary or if I truly have to go elsewhere, which I will in time do, but right now juggling many things and no time to search out new primary that works with patient as a whole person and encouraging about life changes, not just dictate and Rx drug push.
Prayers for you to find your path to good health.
