He has always had some issues with headaches, but they seem to be getting worse lately. Recently, he has a brief episode in the shower where the pain in his head became incredibly severe and he couldn't see or hear. It passed quickly, but I did convince him to go to medical. The doctor seems to think that this is some sort of migraine issue and gave him some pain meds without doing any diagnostic tests. There is at least one person in the family a few generations back who had migraines and died of a massive hemorrhage later in life which the doctor also knows. Apparently, his blood pressure and heart rate were elevated, and so, he had been having him come in for periodic checks on his vitals. Earlier this week, his resting HR was 112 bpm and the upper number for his BP was in the 140's. I didn't get his lower number. This is a guy who is 25, eats well, is not one to regularly drink to excess, and is in great physical shape. Cardiac issues do not run in the family. If anything, it's the opposite. I don't want to lose my son because of this shot or medical negligence. I don't understand why hasn't at least done an MRI. Am I overreacting? Doing this type of research is not my forte. I'd appreciate any helpful information/input and also prayer. Thank you!

The lower number is more important. 140 if he's nervous in MED is not uncommon. What do his blood panels look like? Does he have the ability to leave cantonment and see a good pro? How many jabs has he had? At a minimum, I'd put him on Nattokinase ASAP as a preventative - Amazon can have it to you in 24 hours most likely. Thank you for being a good leader. Semper Fi.
I will ask him about his lower number. He's had two jabs. Don't know about his panels. He had his physical recently so maybe they did some. He's active duty overseas atm.i will pass this advice along to him.
