I was in the ER for high blood pressure about 6 months ago. I went to my cardiologist and he put me on 50mg/day of cozaar. I cut out all sodium in my diet and have been on an extremely low sodium diet since then. My blood pressure still spikes all the time to 180′s/110′s. And it makes me
feel horrible when it does. I have chest pain on my left side sometimes and left shoulder. I dont drink and i dont smoke. My weight has dropped at least 15 pounds and continues to drop and i can’t stable it.I am 30 years old, i’m 6’3", and 220 pounds. I don’t think i’m that heavy. What is going on with me?

That is really a sad story. Sorry.
I’d be going back to emerg rather than take a chance.
Those scores are too high.
You need different meds.
well
you need to do:
24 hour collection of urine for Metanephrine ,Cortisol,and Aldosteron.
Abdominal ultrasound& renal Doppler
serum creatinine,urinalysis
