I am a 66 yr old lady. I have narrow angle glaucoma. At present my blood pressure was 155/101 this morning. I took 2 pressure ease tablets, 1 in the morning, and 1 2 hrs ago. Now my pressure is 122/76. I have had my blood sugar tested. I would please like to know what is the ideal level. My legs are sometimes itchy, as well as my face and ears. Is this a sign of a blood sugar problem. If so, how can the problem be handled, preferably without medication. I am on Lumigan for eye pressure, but it feels as if there are tears in my eyes, and they burn and feel as if there is sand in. Before Lumigan, I used Xalatan, but I felt it made me depressed. Please advise if possible. Thank you Loretta Roux
Good morning Mrs. Loretta, I read your query and noted the contents. The ideal BP should be less than 140/80. Your pre-meal blood sugar should be less than 130 mg/DL (The symptoms of narrow angle closure severe eye pain that comes on suddenly, blurred vision, bright halos appearing around objects, eye redness, tenderness, and hardness, feeling nauseated and vomiting. Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if there is any more information you need. Take care.
