High BP following poisoning
Posted , 3 users are following.
Long story short, I don't need no sympathy nor' advice, I am simply bored and curious. I had been poisoned few days ago, ambulance came within 10 minutes even though the operators were engaged! They banged on my door. Got to the ambulance, they took my BP which read 161/102. I've no idea what BP means in terms of high and lows. Anyway they said that it was "red flagged" and I had to drink activated charcoal. Before that time my vision became weird, I felt nausea but otherwise asymptomatic. They then took my BP after and it went to 158/(something, i forgot, sorry) Still felt fine. What did this mean? My BP is normal now (sometimes it's like 130/90 odd but yh. Im 17.

The high BP would have been the result of the poisoning, plus possibly the anxiety this caused. 161/102 is very high, but not at critical level. The "weird vision" and nausea would have been down to the poisoning rather than the high BP. The activated charcoal they gave you was to deal with the poisoning, not the high BP.
You've obviously dodged a bullet here. Maybe you should be a little bit more careful in future?

Bored and curious...hope you didn't drink poison for s***s and giggles...if you did...don't do it again! Death is always forever. Where are your parents? These are great questions for your doctor. Good luck.
