I went in for a follow up with my heart Dr. While I was there I got really dizzy. I always get a little dizzy for a minute or two when I first stand up but this time I was sitting down and it didn't go away. My blood pressure was a little low so they wanted to check it with me sitting, standing and lying down. When I stood up my wife said I just zoned out and didn't answer questions. Then I just plopped back down in my chair. My Dr. was concerned I might have had a light stroke and sent me to the ER. My wife wanted to drive me to the door but I said I'm fine, I can walk. I got out of the car and I got dizzy again and my wife said I just fell back into the car and slid down to the floor sill. She had to get help to get me inside where they put me in a wheelchair. While I was waiting my vision blurred and I was seeing double. My blood pressure had dropped to 90/40. After five hours an MRI and two bags of drip and some other tests they concluded I didn't have a stroke and it was just my bp. So it looks like y'all are going to have me to antagonize y'all some more.  (7&
Do you normally take Blood Pressure meds? Is it a matter of just getting them adjusted correctly?

I've been on bp meds for many years. Usually my bp runs a little higher than what they consider normal but I have noticed lately it's been getting a little below normal. This is the first time it's gotten this low tho.

OK.....your Doc may need to reduce your dosage to find the new correct amount for you now.

I don't want to think about it. It's 35 miles to the doctor.

That has happened to me twice in about 2 months ....light headed, woozy, but never passed out. My wife thinks it was lack of hydration and very well could have been. I was very tired and hadn't had any water to drink for several hours (14-16 hours) in both cases. After a couple glasses of water, I was fine. We need Hawg here to keep on antagonizing us!

@ Hawg; we wouldn't accept one single day, without the opportunity to be harassed by you.
@ Mazo: It says on the BP (not the BP) package that the stuff is a hazard if one is dehydrated.

I really don't set out to harass anybody. It just comes out that way.
