Anyway, I lose some weight, have trouble sleeping, get a cold, lose more weight, start getting forgetful, and then take my BP on Sunday.
100/60 with a pulse of 40. Jess drops me off at the hospital, they run all kinds of tests (I have a headache like my head is going to explode).
Doctor gives me a shot of morphene, waits an hour, blood pressure starts to come up a little, pulse at 50. He says, go see your PC on Tuesday, "RIGHT AWAY." And he says, it's the beta blockers.
So, I take the ER's advice, go see my doc yesterday. 115/75 with a pulse of 70. He says, "Well, I guess it was the beta blockers."
FML
They still can't help me with the sleep, but at least I'm alert and not one of the walking dead.
The real reason I'm telling this story is in case you ever want to look like us, ya gotta stay off the beta blockers.
I'm glad to see you're back on the boards more often. I missed you for a long time (and not in the man-man kind of way).
Your Pal,
Rick
