My head spins when I get up as if you spun yourself a few turns and it feels like I will going to fall. Fortunately it only lasts for a few seconds and it does not bother me much but what bothers me was its cause because my high blood pressure currently goes off the charts.

I just could not take a medication for my high blood because I am also getting a low blood pressure. I also cannot risk on getting my blood pressure to crash because on my dialysis I always I crash it when I am near completion on my session and if I would take a high blood pressure medication it will compound the hypotention and I don't want that to happen as my dialysis is very crucial for my well-being between sessions.

I think I have no option to treat this high blood pressure problem but to take anti oxidants just to ensure that my arteries won't clog up and buy me some time to make my heart last. Nothing but prayers is all I need and hope that God won't push a button to tell me that my time is up in this jungle we call life.

Sort:  

Are you able to talk to your doctor about hypertension drugs you can take on your days off from dialysis? I understand the worry you have about crashes, but there are short-acting hypertension drugs you can take that won't interfere on your dialysis days. Your swings in bp are very worrisome to me as I am sure they are to you.
Hoping everything goes well today and you get the relief that you need.

Yeah I remember this short-acting drug called catapress I was taking it before. They give it to patients that get that very high BP to bring it down fast. Thanks @lizzyib I think I will gonna consider it and maybe monitor my BP at home now. I just can't die yet.

Like @lizzyib said, you should talk to your doctor and explore the drugs options available to you.

You really are going through a lot and I hope your doc can work to get your condition stabilized.

Clotting inside the arteries is big problem, in your condition it is hard to solve without drugs cause you cannot excercise. So.. please consult to your physician on what drug is the best for you. May God always with you @cryptopie

You have to optimize your BP through anti oxidants....and yes prayer has power that it can change everything

You should talk with doctor because blood clotting is not good in this veins or arteries can be destroy @cryptopie

everything will go well strength and faith

I have high blood pressure. But I can control it by controlling diet. I eat very simple food with no meat. Blood pressure turns me to insomnia. So I think if you can control diet you feel better from this problem.

Your haircut is looking nice and it is suiting you too.
