Been home for a week now. Blood pressure is coming down. Yesterday was my all-time low, 120/82. I wonder if they will continue to go down or level off here. It'd be nice to get off at least one of the two meds. The HCTZ, the diuretic, I'm not sure is working or not, haven't really been peeing any more than usual. It's been warm so I've been drinking more too. Still feeling weak, especially after working a few hours. Not sure if its the Norvasc since one of the side effects is tiredness. Or body is just still recovering. Really would like to get off the cholesterol med. That one says I can't drink. That could really suck when I'm at the summer concerts.
Overall, I'm feeling healthy. Still sucks that I can't eat or drink anything I want. But at the same time some of my cravings aren't as strong and when I see a cookie or a cupcake, I don't even want it. Also have been noticing that I don't eat at much. Sure, I still get hungry, but I don't pig out as much. Being in the hospital for a week and only getting the three meals per day, no snacks, I think my stomach shrunk. I get fuller faster, and when I'm full I kinda stop eating, instead of stuffing myself like I usually do, to the point of discomfort. The next time I make spaghetti will be a true test. :)
Not sure if its because the BP is down, but haven't been getting the tingles in my face that I get when I close my eyes for a short period of time. Headaches seemed to go away too.
No recognizable brain farts the past two days. Good, good.
