Two months ago, while working on a boat trailer, I leaned over to spray a low spot and hit my head on one of the metal brackets. I hit hard enough that I went to my knees. The next morning I woke up with a headache and have had one since then.
I thought I might have suffered a mild concussion so I researched treatment online. Everything I read said rest and analgesics for the pain and two weeks should make me better.
Well, two weeks later I was still having the headaches and my blood pressure was up to an average of 150/85. So I went to wee my doctor. He ordered a CT scan which came back negative for a brain bleed but he put me on a second blood pressure med called Metoprolol 50mg. He also referred me to a Neurologist but my appointment is not until Aug 30 at 2pm. I was already taking a 25mg Losartan because my BP was around 130/70. Well, I monitored my blood pressure at home and it stayed around the 140/80 range even taking both of those meds. Yesterday, I went back by the Drs. office for them to compare my BP monitor to their machine. Mine showed !48/88 and theirs showed 157/80.
Tylenol gives me about an hours relief. For the most part my headaches are dull and either behind my eyes or in the top part of my head. But, frequently I have a sharp pain run up from my neck across the left side of my head. It goes away as soon as it hits.
One other thing I noticed is my vision has gotten a little more blurry. Before,I could read the program menu on my 60" TV from about 15 ft. Now, with glasses it is still hard to read especially if the background color is anything other than white.
I did get the trailer finished, but I spend most of my time sitting in my shop thinking about what I need to do.
I haven't told anyone about this so Y'all are the first to know. If I stop posting here you'll know there will be a 67 GTO convertible, 1950 Pontiac Streamliner and a 1939 Pontiac Series 28 up for sale along with some good shop equipment.
Greg Reid and one or two more of you here know me and will be able to get in touch.
That's all I have for now. I will report back once I see the Neurologist.
