150/95 is high. Is it this high all the time? Mine was only 130/90 and they started me on a beta-blocker (due to panic attacks I get). You need to see your doctor about this, but bring your daily readings.
Aleve can cause elevated BP. Does Tylenol help you? If so, switch and see if that makes a difference. Motrin elevated my BP, but not as much as Celebrex or Vioxx (went to 180/110!)
As I lowered my Cymbalta dose, BP lowered, too. Too bad the 5mg I was able to tolerate (due to side effects) didn't help with my primary problem.
You probably need to have your C-reactive protein checked (cardiac sensitive) as well as other labs. Are you checked regularly by a doctor?
