Went in for my ECHO last week. The tech asks "do you have high blood pressure?" Yes, why? I can see that your left ventricle muscles are thick. Common for those who have high BP. But its on the low/med side, not too bad. Even if BP lowers, muscles will always be thick once it got thick. Dunno if this is a concern... But my heart doesn't seem enlarged. That's good. They haven't called back so I assume no bad news, or whatever it is can wait till my next appt on March 30. Still having left upper chest pain. Damn rib?
Picked up a sleep study kit and slept one night with it. Tech asked some ques, do I fall asleep at the wheel when stopped at red light? No. But then I was at a red light and got real sleepy, like I could of slept if I wasn't driving. So I'm not sure if I asked this right. I do get random sudden moments of tiredness which I thought I was just fatigued, but usually they go away after I don't go to sleep. I wonder if sleep apnea patients just fall asleep. I just resist the urge to do so but is something happening? Results will take about 4 weeks.
During Roscoe's morning walk today, he started making the motion to poo but the next house over had people standing outside so I yanked to make him stop when I suddenly got lightheaded and maybe a second of whiteness. I was able to stay standing but took me about a minute to feel normal again. I wonder if my arm being yanked touched a nerve. Kinda like when I turn my head to drive in reverse, I get a 'head rush' and vision goes white.
So it's been a little over a month with my meds adjustment. Overall it's been pretty good, the average for the last month is 126/89. Dunno if its the meds or me eating better plus trying to get in 7000 steps daily (tho doesn't always happen).
