Scared out of My Mind

A week or so ago my mom was told she had high blood pressure..A.K.A Hypertension. I know this does not sound as bad as maybe cancer or some other deadly disease..but it really is just as bad. My mom is one of those really tough women who never cries over anything. She is the toughest person i know and i have always looked up to her. The high blood pressure is causing her to feel dizzy and nauseous. I really cannot stand to see her this way. It hurts sometimes and i try not to show it because i know my mom does not want me to feel bad for her. How could I not? She is my mother and I love her more than anything in the world. I do not know what i would do without her. Such a stubborn lady she is...LOL. :) I guess i am scared out of my mind because i can see that she is getting worse. The medicine they prescribed is not working so they have to put her on a different medication. I do not see the medications doing anything for her. I am trying to help her stay on a low sodium diet. It is quite difficult though to find low sodium foods. I think i will check out some place online.
