What
happened?
Apparently, I have pleuritis and hypokalemia.. Unfortunately the pleuritis
made it hurt to breathe so I was unconsciously holding my breath, it caused a
low oxygen level and then, in trying to compensate, I ended up
hyperventilating which dropped it so bad to only 82 percent of normal.. all of
the sudden
both hands and arms went numb and my face.. it was horrible..which scared the
bejeebies out of me..the hypokalemia was found when they did blood work..it
had nothing to do with the breathing issue and might be related to a new med
my neuro prescribed for my eye spasms. But it did explain why my legs hurt so
bad lately.. I'll be fine once the inflammation around my lung walls goes
away.. and we will monitor the other...Last night I just had to laugh cause
otherwise I was going to cry..the ER was horrible.. they tried to say it was
an
anxiety attack and that the hypokalemia was because I was taking diuretics..
they dont know me very well. My primary care set them straight.. I was mad
that they even thought that.. Lets see.. other than my pain in the ass eyes,
not a thing was bothering me.. just another routine day at work.. wasn't even
in gear to think much yet,, that early in the morning... and they havent seen
me read the riot act to my boss when he takes diuretics to start a diet..
fooling with your chemistry is NOT a good idea..plus I truly dont believe in
dieting for weight loss.. for health , sure.. but not by taking a darn water
pill! The last diet I ever tried was probably in high school..25 yrs ago!
People
are who they are by what they do, think and believe.. not by how they look ,
what they weigh or what they are or are not able to do..
