So today was to be Peg's first HBOT treatment. We got ready and made the trek to Ventura, and she began the preliminaries. Unfortunately, since HBOT tends to raise your blood pressure, you can't go into the chamber when your blood pressure is too high. Peg's was too high today, so it was a no-go for the HBOT today.
Fluctuating high blood pressure is one of the symptoms of Lyme disease, so we are disappointed, but not too surprised. Peg will be seeing her Naturopath doctor today to see what the best recommendation is. She could try prescription blood pressure medication (and deal with the side effects), or she could try something homeopathic, which tends to work better for her than prescription medication.
Once we figure out how to best deal with her high blood pressure, we'll try the HBOT again.
