hi
im new here and thank god i have found this forum, i have been suffering chronic kidney disease for 4 years now and recently I have had bad hypertension , this week my blood pressure has stayed at 192/120 130 so so it's critical stage now. I must state that I've been getting serious headaches for about 7 months now my doctor knows this information but he didn't act on it I feel he should have acted sooner and checked my blood pressure and hypertension and got me straight on to to hypertension medication at least 7 months ago when these headaches started.
My doctor took me off losartan3 months ago co-ip feel he's shooting have taken me off lasartan, I feel this has made my blood pressure worse a couple of weeks ago go I had bloods taken my GFR was a 28 then after that I had bloods taken again my GFR dropped to 22 I didn't ask my doctor is it not time to get me a kidney specialist he told me no no I also asked him is it not time for me to go into hospital where at least I can be put on a drip and get the right the right treatment he also told me now now I am a scared this week of my GF are falling even further to below 15 , so surely I should go into hospital with hypertension and chronic kidney disease , I could take a stroke or a heart attack at any moment , please give me your thoughts and is anyone out there in my situation and what would you do I'm starting to get desperate my diet isn't great but it is ok I'm eating salads everyday , soup and wholemeal bread I have limited my alcohol intake and I'm not drinking as much although I do have have two pints of Guinness stout per night I do not smoke anymore I'm trying to do relaxation therapy in the morning at night deep breathing
so I will leave this here and await any advice you can give me
thank you in advance
