Doctor's appointment today

[debecca]

Well, my blood pressure has reached an all-time low for me of 85/55... doctor says this is almost certainly why I am so tired and dizzy all the time, but that she wants to do blood tests for thyroid function and blood sugar too.

Not much I can do about low BP but it seems Emma58 and me are leading parallel lives - didn't you say you'd just been to the docs and had low BP this afternoon too hun?

Anyway at least we have an excuse for not doing all that housework now

Yep my GP said mine is low too. I don't so much feel dizzy but i'm exhausted and I feel weak and sick.
We are definitely leading parallel lives by the sounds of it

mine was 110/40 the other day...

i'm not too up on bp but i know the 2nd number was very low!

other than that mines been around 100/50 something. It makes life tough doesn't it! i've ended up sitting on the floor in supermarket aisles so many times due to feeling dizzy!

 

[GBLiz]

mine was 110/60 at my booking appointment, went up to 110/70 for every appointment since, but down again to 110/60 at the last one, so ive been ok

how come pregnancy makes some peoples too low, and some peoples too high??

 

[Ginnymarie]

oh that is low!
should you be standing, no wonder you feel faint
i know you shouldn't drink coffee when pregnant but the odd one used to help me when my bp was low, someone said coffee raises your bp a wee bit.
hope you feel better soon

SO glad you've said this. Supermarket aisles are my number one place for collapsing too. I guess it's because you have to stand up for a prolonged period of time. Jim's started doing the shopping on his own now and leaving me in the car!

 

[Suzie and Faith]

My OH comments that it'd be quicker to do it without me. Lol.
I still insist on going though, I don't trust him to get the right things!

Bless us!
Hope you feel better soon, keep taking it easy!

 

[Bloom]

I'm feeling much better today it comes and goes so I have good days and bad days.

Yesterday I managed to wash some more ConiftCloves and I packed my hospital bag so I feel like I've done something constructive
