Hi Everybody I'm OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!! YAY!! Went for my nerve block procedure and as I was reminding them that my blood pressure usually went really low as i came out of sedation,they checked it and it was 70/40...so I had a glass of water,walked for a little bit and they checked it again 67/38.glass of orange juice and another walk,70/38 heart beat started out about 60bpm but was in the mid 40s when they decided to call 911 and take me directly across the street to the emergency room(which I told them I could walk)Anyway,long story short,they spent about aan hour trying to get my heart rate and blood pressure up to no avail.I got admitted and put on fluids and was holding steady at around 40bpm and low 70s/low 40s blood pressure.3 days later with really no idea what caused these drops,I'm home blood pressure is staying around 100/60 really lowb for me but not scary low i guess.My heart rate is still about 50,still low but again not alarmingly so I guess.Im suposed to take it easy,drink lots of fluids and get in to my dr to get my blood pressure meds changed this week. The only thing they can think of is the anxiety from worrying about the pain clinic procedure reacted with one of my many other meds and caused the drop.Thanks for all the well wishers!! I luv my lil dysfunctional dog & musician family!!! I'l keep you guys posted!
