Worried about my health...

Congrats!

I'm sure your doctor will follow up on the results of your medication. They often double the dosage after a few weeks, if needed. All three of my BP meds were doubled after starting. Now my BP sits around 140/90 ish, on a good day, but it still flares higher at times. It's considered OK. Keep track of it for your own records.

My grandfather had a huge roll-out graph he made tracking his blood pressure that he took to every doctors appointment.
He said the doctor was impressed and always looked at it as part of the consultation.

The voluntary position sounds good for you, and definitely a positive for future paid work applications.

I got a new best friend too... my aunt got me a computer (I'm using it now) so I don't have to do everything on my smartphone. I owe her money on it, but it would make that volunteer job a whole lot easier!! !

Now only if this virus stuff and the weather warms up I would be happier and finally get that van legal, the secretary of state (Michigan's DMV) isn't open right now.

Oh my Lord.... What happened was my BP shot up so high yesterday I called 911. The paramedics determined my tremors (which got worse after taking the Lisinopril) were making the readings artificially look high when in fact my BP was normal!! ! My blood sugar was high which wasn't good!! ! The paramedics want me now to call on Monday about the tremors...

Wow...

As far as I’m aware there is a bit of trial and error regarding prescribing the right drug at the right dosage for each patient with regard to many different conditions.

Good job keeping in touch with the medical bods: they should be on track to calibrating the right course of treatment for your individual case as a result.
