Okay lets start by saying I have been having fainting spells for over 2 weeks when I finally decided to call the doctor I had been monitoring my blood pressue and it had ranged from 150/80 to 160/90 during these spells so I called the doctor and spoke to PAM Dr. J's head nurse and got told I was to be in the office tommorrow at 2:30pm. She wasn't very happy that this had been going on for 2 weeks and I hadn't called the office before then, Anyway I went in to the doctor yesterday (the day before my Birthday) feeling somewhat horrible and ready to sleep or pass out one. They took my blood pressure and it was 128/88 and they didn't understand why I felt so bad cause it wasn't that high, then I went and did the HIGHLIGHT of my day "Pee in a CUP".....    When Dr.J came in he said "I know why your blood pressure has been shooting up you have sent your body in to keytoses (Atkins Diet) where you body is starting to uses it resources to make it so you have energy that's why you have none and this means when your blood surgar goes Down your blood pressure goes Up.  He gave me a long list of diet stuff that I  could eat and stuff I couldn't and told me if I have any questions to call and ask not to wait.  I have lost 4lbs and as anyone knows while being preggers that ain't good so we will see...
