I'm fighting my blood pressure today. I'm not sure if my grogginess is from the medicine or the low blood pressure or both. My blood pressure this morning is 84/50. Needless to say, I didn't make it to either church service today. I'm feeling much better this evening and just noticed I hadn't taken my 6pm dose of the aldomet.
Even though these med increases are really hard for my body to adjust too, we have noticed an overall improvement in my quality of life (that is in-between med increases, Ha, Ha!).
So, all the pain and discomfort is worth it in the long run.
I am still needing propranolol almost daily for weird heart beats that feel like I'm being hit in the chest followed by an elevator dropping sort of feeling. Dr. Li says they are probably PVC's (preventricular contractions-skipped heart beats.) and are either caused by the increased stress that I've been under and/or low blood pressure.
I hope that I can snap out of this soon. I have sooo much to do.
