Been suffering from insomnia too. Matter of fact as at last midnight, my mind was screaming, "insomnia is killing me!". Can't remember the last time I had a full night's sleep. I go to bed on average btw 10.45pm to 11pm. Then I wake around 1am and remain in that position till about 6am. As you can see, I'm on NL at this time due to the same reason.

You can see my screenshot from last midnight Oct 3, 2019 asking Google a lot of questions.

Thank you but the sleeping tablets make me drowsy all day and it’s not even as if it helps my sleep because I always wake up 3am and can’t go back to sleep


If your BP is high. Stay away from sleeping pills
You should be on HBP drugs and not sleeping pills.

Insomnia?
These are my tips
1- take a break from ur sex at least 2months from now...
U know sweet things kill faster and ur so called fiancee will continue shagging another man in case u are gone.
2- take haemoglobin + iron regularly especially 3times a week.
3- whenever you are set for a sleep, but sleep refused to come then do these things.
Take ur phone and a very good earphone + good internet, log on to YouTube and search for insomnia instrumental or deep sleep Instrumental
Make sure you off anything that sounds around you.
Just plug ur earphone and keep calm the sleep will eventually comes not immediately but just keep calm

Good day people,

A month ago, I suddenly started feeling pain in my chest and dizzy eyes and numb palms and feet, I thought it was shortness of blood because I have been stressed for the past 6 months waking up out of bed getting into traffic to work and coming back in traffic late at night.

The chest pain feeling like my heart skipping a beat still didn’t go away, i couldn’t get a sound sleep every morning I wake up unrefreshed and tired through out the day

I checked my blood pressure one day at the pharmacy and it was abnormally high and I’m just 26 I went to the doctor and conducted PCV to check my blood count, malaria test and fasting sugar, all came out normal, he suspected angina so I also did an ECG which also came out normal, the doctor gave me paracetamol, vitamin B12 capsule and since then that is how I have been frequenting the hospital, each time the blood pressure still high.

Last week I was still at the doctor last Thursday and my BP was 148/96 at my age, yet the doctor doesn’t really tell me much he just keep prescribing the same sleeping pills and vitamin B12 and iron capsule.

Right now I presently can’t help myself to sleep, my day is always filled with fatigue, headache, dullness, I lose concentration at work, I can’t seem to get anything done because my eyes get heavy and my head be pounding me seriously. I don’t know what is going on I’m gradually losing the sharp young man I used to be.

Please, I don’t know if anybody has gone through a phase like this or if we have experienced doctors in the house please.

Please I need all the help I can get

On no account should you bring your health issues on social media unless probably you need money for health challenges never for advice. Again never for advice. Better still, change your doctor. And once more than 2 doctors insists on one thing stick to it and work with them.

Now lemme state this first so you may relax. YOU ARE NOT HYPERTENSIVE. Your blood pressure is high because you have not been sleeping. Some people will call this secondary hypertension, but I will not.
Once you can get to sleep well, that would be taken care of.
Now, from your hx you seem to have an anxiety disorder. What particular issue never leaves your mind? What can't you help but think about within the space of an hour? What makes you feel bad immediately it crosses your mind and comes quite often?...
Go back to your doctor. Tell him you met a doctor who suggested he thinks alongside an anxiety disorder. Let him take a comprehensive hx to ascertain. And also tell him I suggest he places u on anxiolytics if he feels you qualify. DON'T TELL HIM YOU MET THE PERSON ONLINE. He won't take you seriously. I won't too. And if you will be needing a medical psychologist, he should let you know
.You can send me a personal message if you need more advice

Your problem is very basic, with a simple solution (not medical intervention).....

1 - Move closer to your work
2 - Quit that job and seek alternative

Your problem is fatigue, even going on a holiday would only cure this fatigue, for a very short period..............

PETUK:
Marijuana is the answer, get marijuana two wraps pour it in a kettle or pot put water half tea cup boil it till it look like lipton.
Drink it at least 2hrs before bed time.
You will sleep like a baby.

I recently bought Indian hemp to grow my hair. I added a pinch, just a teeny-weeny pinch the size of sugar ant in my hair conditioner to steam my hair. That same afternoon, I slept like a new born. I wasn't expecting this side effect. I slept so soundly that I dreamt I was sleeping. This isn't an exaggeration. In my dream I was forcing myself to wake cos it was past my lunch time. Sometimes I'd literally wake but sleep back cos the sleep was just too sweet. When I finally woke, it wasn't because I was satisfied but because I had to eat.

I still have some left. Walahi I'll start using it on weekends as a sleeping aid now that you mentioned it. I suffer from insomnia too.

Something I should also add is that in the month of August, a friend living in Ikeja travelled out of the country and had me stay in his apartment with my fiancé, I was very sexually active around this time, we had sex more than once everyday until the 25th of August, it was around 24th August I started feeling this type of way, we used condoms through out and I have checked and cleared all doubts of STIs, but the sex was quite exhausting at a time because she always wanted more while she’s on the plus size and I’m a slim guy, so you know I was exerting a lot of energy, my friend joking talked about checking my BP and I waved it off so I don’t know if High blood pressure could actually be the cause of all this or the blood pressure is a result of the sleeplessness.
CHECK YOUR BLOOD SUGAR.

I have passed this road before, and I am not going to recommend any drug for you because I am not a medical doctor. But I will tell u what u are suffering of: u are suffering of stress and depression, something is really bothering u, but u might not believe it. So look for a doctor or psychiatrist to properly exam u and recommend the necessary drugs.

Your job is not the issue, the headaches is as a result of high BP, the BP, is as a result of that you're diabetic. Taking sleeping pills is not a solution either, and you have to stop, you've taken enough and might be contributing to your high BP. By the way, I hope you've done your HIV test? because it seems your immune system is down. If done, place yourself on multivitamins, take plenty of water, infact take water like you never taken bfor, avoid alcohol, avoid much salt. Try this with time your immune system will come up.

Apparently your blood pressure is high.
Firstly you need medication to control your blood pressure to avoid damage to your kidney.
Some of your symptoms pointing to high blood pressure.

You are not too young to have high blood pressure.

Please stop taking drugs. You are stressed, tired and afraid. I did what you are doing now for a year, till I met a doctor who asked me to throw all my drugs away and work on my mind. All test results showed that I was okay but I always felt sick. The day I walked out of that doctors office, I stopped taking drugs and immediately began to recover. Just look for a way to reduce the work and commuting stress. Worse case scenario, resign from work. Who will give you enough time off from a new job? And don't google any symptoms anymore, google will tell you ordinary headache is brain tumor.

You are developing symptoms of a heart attack caused by stress. So change your environment, stop whatever it is that is stressing you, stop the medication and take a break from life. Go somewhere new and exciting, somewhere that lets you breathe and switch off your phone.

You are too young to die at 26. Money will always be there, but life is only given once

It’s a new job and everybody at work have noticed something is wrong but I’m just keeping strong. Could it be the high blood pressure because the doctor has refused to say anything about it?
the high bp might have been there since without you noticing any symptoms. I suggest you go to a bigger hospital cos that doctor isn't managing you well. by now after more than 2 checks confirming your bp is excessively high you should be on anti-hypertensives. pls don't joke with high bp. it's a silent killer. in your case it's been detected and should be properly managed asap.

This might help
As for ur bp... You won't bliv what I have to say but this is true... My mum's bp was higher than urs and she's spent alot... It's drained her physically and emotionally, OK... Someone later told her to grind ginger and lime(sounds awkward ryt)...she felt it was weird and she didn't do it and kept buying drugs, I went out of my way to try making the mixture for her and she sha managed to start using it, esp in her drinks and at times she takes it just like that, we preserve the rest in what fridge..to cut the story short after bout three months of taking it without meeting the doctor she decided to go see him and he was absolutely shocked the result he got.. Her bp was moderate, mum is still taking her ginger and lime o
As for ur sleepless nights.. Go to the pharm and get Nuravit.. You'll just be eating and sleeping but don't take it every day, a day or two interval is OK... Dont go to work Pls, take a leave of two to three weeks or even a month for best result... Thank me later �

do some yoga meditation and drink chamomile tea....u can get 'lloyd good night sleep' tea from ShopRite.herbal tea is far better and useful compared to insomia drugs

for the BP...replace ur drinking water with DIY zobo drink mixed with beet root and ginger....hibiscus( zobo) with beet root is the best way to reduce BP to normal within 12 hr..far more potent than any BP drugs

for pains and anthritis,mix tumeric with black pepper and drink it whenever you feel pains

reduce ur sugar,fried food(dodo,plantain chips,chinchin) and processed food intake....take more fruits and vegetables to detox
