Published

I have always, always had a good bp until a few weeks ago. My norm is 112/74-78, now all of a sudden its 140/90 to 156/112!!! I have been having RLQ/R flank pain (sometimes severe). Family doc has been finding hematuria since last Aug., I finally went to a urologist, CT scan ordered & light scope. X-rays don't show kidney stones......I smoke, & am worried about a tumor. I know ya'll can't diagnoise.....but what do ya think....the bp is really got me worried. I have gained weight while in school/don't get much exercise........yikes...trying to cut down on the cigs, on a diet & burning the treadmill up! Any other suggestions to lower the bp? Thanks!
