NOT to Happy!!!!

Post by barbaranoela »

Lou;s blood pressure readings have been very low allday----to me 67/over 30 isnt a terrific reading!!

Once it went to 97/35--mostly low all day--so I told him to call the office and get Kozin---he is on 2 heart meds-- so perhaps thats the issue---but of course a *wife* telling her *hub* what to do seems to bring a moment of silence!!!!! matter of fact megga silences all day!!

He goes to lunch with his buddies and they say are U *crazy* call your doctor---and that he did!!

--naturally Kozin is off today---but I said talk to any of the docs.---
nope he shall wait till tomorrow!!!

So U know that all night I shall be listening for breathing sounds!!!

Grrrrrrrrr-----avoid STRESS!!!! right!!!

Barbara,

He probably needs a little more blood volume, I agree, but as long as he can sit up, from a prone position, or stand up, from a sitting or prone position, without feeling extremely light-headed, or feeling like he is going to faint, and his heart does not race, (tachycardia), he shouldn't have any problems.

He sure is picky about his doctors. :lol: (Joan said it better than I did). :lol:

Barbara,

I can sure sympathize. When my sis and I were taking care of my Mom during her chemo treatments we had the same thing happen, including the don't call. It got so low that we finally told her it was call the Dr. or an ambulance. She did, finally,agree to the Dr. Good luck.

A blood pressure reading like that would be enough to scare me!!! I definitely think he should see a doc or even go to the emergency room, but I'm sure he won't agree. What can you do!!!!!

Barbara,

I wanted to ask if he was low on iron, but I didn't want to bring up something else for you to worry about, in case you weren't aware of it. My brother had to take an iron supplement for a while, until he got his level back up again.

Morning Barbara,

Not great readings but I would have to agree with Tex on his view and also Men will be Men. By the way, a lot of my readings look like that.

Love, Maggie
