I've had my kidney transplant for over 11 yrs. I was on dialysis for 2 and half yrs. I had renal failure due to hypertension, was diagnosed when I was 16 I never took my bp meds cause they made me tired nausea or they made me pee alot. How ironic anyway so I never took them my Dad is even a dr. I thought all those headaches I had were sinus allergies. So about 15 yrs ago I started to retain water, trouble breathing, vomiting, diaherria and leg jerking. Ended up in the er cause could not breathe when I layed down, I had congestive heart failure. My bp was off the charts. Surprised I made it.
