>> Ended up in the ER this morning.
Blood pressure dropped to 72 over 60 and heart rate was jumping from 80 to 155 and back. Heart beat was skipping 2 out of 5 beats, sometimes 5 or 6 in a row.
I'm in Missouri so they are going to keep me two or three days. I really need to get back to take care of my mother...can't stay here long.
@Safety44:
Do you still have pneumonia? With numbers like that i would be looking for a severe infection or some serious heart issues. How do you feel and what are they saying?
@Nurse3: Glad to hear you on line girl! They took a X-ray but haven't gotten the results back to me yet.
I was feeling okay from the pneumonia bit. I stopped using the nebulizer about two weeks ago. Every was good.
But last night, I couldn't breath when I laid down (same as in March when I had the pneumonia).
It is basically an exact repeat of March.
Couldn't breath laying down.
Blood pressure dropped to within 12 points between over and under. (70 over 58)
Heart rate cycled rapidly between 80 and 150.
I'm stable now (somewhat) with BP back to 98 over 75 and heart rate cycling between 85 and 100.
I've really got to figure this out though, because I only have 23 heart efficiency left and I don't want to hurt the turkey!
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks again, you're a gem.
