Went to the doc last Tuesday cuz my BP has been real high lately and I've had a constant headache for the past two weeks. (Haven't been to the doc in about 4 years btw)
 
Went to see him and he was like "Yep, you've got high BP" (150/110)
 
He put me on Losartan and took 7 vials of blood (I joked and told him my cholesterol would be high, so I would be prepared for the *****ing when I saw him next). Scheduled a follow-up for the next month.
 
Got a call 2 days later, and they said my results were in and needed to see me. Weird.... I couldn't get in till today. The doc walks in, I smile and ask what the verdict is on my cholesterol. (Lol, I say this as I'm munch on some bacon btw.)
 
He said it's a little high, then asked if I knew what Polycythemia Vera was. I didn't.
 
He explained what it is, and said that I have this condition.
 
He took more blood for more tests, put in a standing order for me to get blood taken out every 3 months, and will get with a hematologist/oncologist for me to go see.
 
Peachy.

Polycythemia Vera
 
@Brat: Now that you made me Google that... Damn, dude! I'm so sorry. However, I'm glad you went to the doc in the first place, and I'm glad your doc seems to be on top of this. Now, I have no idea what you can do to get healthy, but just get better! (Holler if any of us can help.) *hugs*

It's good to hear from you.  You're young, they caught it, and it's treatable.  Just do what the doc says (and put down the bacon, or give it to me!). 4951

Not sure how "religious" you are, but from someone that has held a hand while having the bone marrow test done, take a clinging cross with you.  My mother had to have that test done too often due to adult onset leukemia, sometimes I couldn't go with her to hold her hand, she loved the clinging cross.  If you are not spiritual or religious, I hope you find comfort in your own special way. 4951

@Brat:
Dudddddddeeeeee!!! Be careful!! Take your blood pressure before you take the med and anytime you just don't feel right. Keep a log of your blood pressures!! Also if he didnt give you perameters of when not to take the med then ASK. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU IN THE HOSPITAL! But if you go to Kingwood then message me and I'll be right there.

You have a lot of friends that are gonna be loving on you through this. Let them! You do NOT stand alone.
 
At one point I had a dr tell me the rest of my life would be spent on and off in a hospital room. To always have a bag packed and they had no real answers for me.
 
I took control and grabbed onto friends, family, traditional medical help, holistic help and God and 2 years later Im probably the best I have ever been in my life(still not perfect but wowsa what a year can do).
 
You got this! And we Got you! No one gets a testimony without the test. Your testimony is gonna be kick ***! 4951

I too had to Google this. I hope all will be well with you and you can beat this. Like previous posters continue to take your meds and take care of yourself. I'll keep you in my prayers.
