I *hate* dismissive doctors! It's, like...Grr. I *hate* dismissive doctors! It's, like, my #1 pet peeve. Take my concerns seriously, dang it! Frankly, I'd just start calling back on a daily basis, saying that it's not going away and that you were told to call if it didn't go away. It should be of concern that your BP numbers were off, especially if you don't have any real history of those numbers being bad. <br /><br />And yeah, I hate it when they withhold prescriptions from you until you see them. I've been taking the same damn medication for 4+ years now, and was advised to continue taking it through this pregnancy, and when I called for a refill, my doctor was out of the office on vacation and whomever it was that was taking her calls tried to give me sh(t about getting a refill, how they'd give me ONE refill, but then I'd have to call back and talk to my normal doc. And I'm thinking, "Beeyotch, I'm pregnant with TWINS. I'm TIRED. I do not need to be hassled with bleeping calling back AGAIN to get this sh(t straightened out! Nor do I need to discover a week postpartum that my script has run out and I don't have any refills left and that I have to figure out how to get myself and two squawling infants into the doctor, just to get a refill on a frickin' pill I've been taking for YEARS..." <br /><br />Um, yeah. Another pet issue of mine, frankly. <br /><br />Anyhow, the spinny-head feeling could definitely be caused by depression. It could also be anxiety (which obviously goes hand in hand with depression at times) or just generalized stress (which would also cause your BP to rise, too), both of which are extremely common postpartum. It's worth thinking about, at least. Definitely call back and find a doctor who isn't such a dismissive ass...<br /><br />Must get back on Netflix soon... I have a feeling we'll want to have movies available and delivered to our house once the twins get here!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.com
