D’OH! I see what they’re doing now, and I like it. Someone posting to me is in blue, and my posts to others are in green!
The nephrologist called. He put me on a small dose of HCTZ. Hydrochlorothiazide. A diuretic. He suspects that the spike in blood pressure is related to hormonal fluctuations which are causing me to retain fluid. Makes sense, because my feet and hands are puffy. Not all the time, but frequently.
We’ll see. He said it might lower my bp enough to get me off the metoprolol. I hate the metoprolol.
