I`ll get online later and do my blogs but just to update you on my BP. It was up to 127/74 this morning when I took it so thats great. I`m possitive I didn`t take a double dose as I have one of those pill boxes where you put a the pills in each days "box" for the week and as that was OK I`m sure it wasn`t that I`d done anything as silly as take a double dose, forget a days yes but not a double dose.
I did ring our hospital and spoke to a lovely nurse who took all the details I had. I`d been taking my BP about every hour and sometime`s it was going up then it would drop again. Anyway the nurse I spoke to said not to take my night BP pills until she spoke with the doctor when he did his rounds. She also said to drink lots of water and to lay with my legs up on a cushion so I did that.
She rang back and said not to take the new BP pill at all but to start the other today if my BP was back to normal or as near as possible and to ring my doctor tomorrow. So it`s of to the clinic tomorrow if I can get in. I am going to say that the on call doctor advised I see someone so I may get pushed in ahead.
Thank you all for you kind thoughts and worry about me. I knew something was wrong as I was so light headed and giddy. My machine is pretty close to the doctors, he asked me to bring it in to check against his, so that reading was correct even if I didn`t at first believe it.
It`s just after 9.45 Sunday morning and the temp is already 32C (91F). Oh well looks as if the Air-Con will get a work out today.
