Today, while waiting for a doctors appointment, my husband started playing angry birds. Continually losing the game ended up raising his blood pressure to the point where he now has to have his medication changed. The new medication is $100 copay. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home from the hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's caused by stress. My wife had a very long talk with my son about it. All the kid has been doing for the past 2 hours is scream at his Playstation. I'd rather be at the hospital. FML
Today, we had to take my mother to the emergency room because of high blood pressure. As soon as we got back home, she started scrolling through Facebook and getting angry at everything. FML
Today, in attempt to save a few bucks on visiting the doctor, my drunk husband tried to relocate his own disjointed finger, using a vice grip. We ended up with an $800 ambulance bill and then a welfare check from Social Services. FML
Today, I played Angry Birds for two hours. I got so into the game, I failed to remember that I was sitting on a public toilet. I only realized this when the janitor came to check on me. FML
Today, I went back home after seeing the doctor, I told my boyfriend my new medicine might cause some mood swings. He immediately grabbed his phone and pretended to take a call, then rushed out. FML
Today, my husband and I were getting intimate when a notification for a game popped up on his iPad. He immediately shoved me aside so he could take care of his baby dragon. FML
Today, my husband got angry and stormed out of the house because he claims I wasn't pressing the buttons he told me to while playing Pokemon. FML
Today, my doctor told me if my blood pressure gets any higher, he could use me to reinflate the air in his tyres. FML
Today, my husband is miserable. He couldn't sleep. He tried to make me feel bad for sleeping through the night. I was medicated from a brain scan. His is work is horrible, and no one understands, etc. He's mad that I took a walk. Now, as I am frustrated and crying, he is laughing on the phone with his coworkers. FML
Today, I went to the doctors and was told I would need an inhaler. My mom came back from the pharmacy and told me the copay of $35 dollars was way too expensive, so she is making me use my cat's old inhaler. My mom values my cat's ability to breathe more then my own. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So an hour or two of intense frustration raises the blood pressure level permanently? The human body is even more ****** up than I thought...either that, or you need a new doctor, because many medications can be dangerous if the condition is misdiagnosed.

Hey, it's called Angry Birds for a reason. I'm just kidding. Your life sucks, your husband shouldn't get upset over a game of Angry Birds, I mean come on how could you freak out over a game like that. Well, with what happens around this crazy world I wouldn't be very surprised. FYL! I'm sorry you have to deal with the health system and your husbands' blood pressure rising over an app/game.

Angry birds is a serious deal. That game is so addicting and drives you insane, hence the name ANGRY birds.

@OP, talk to the doctor to change the medication. Also, $100 co-pays are not typical for blood pressure meds unless it's a 'sartan' drug and even then they're normally $50. A single pill over a 30 day supply can often charge a patient a double co-pay and a lot of pharmacy techs and pharmacists miss that when doing the claim on the medication. Don't fret though. There's alternatives to everything out there and I strongly suggest that you either talk to the doctor to recheck the blood pressure or talk to the pharmacist about them calling the doctor for different meds. I'm not a pharmacist. I just wish I had their paycheck $_$

this person is right unless you got a 90 day supply the 100$ I could understand. but even so, if your bp is heightened from immense stresses, or nervousness, he should have told your doctor the reason why, and they should have waited. maybe try buying a home bp monitor.

I agree. The co pay would be really high for only a 30 day supply. Also it may be something the doctor can change, there are a lot of different meds available. You may want to try changing his diet also, it can impact your B/P. Also if he doesn't already exercise start going for walks together or something. Having the home monitor was a great suggestion! Try taking his B/P at different times of the day. Good luck OP
