consequences of low blood pressure
My head did that at 5:30 a.m.……
.…..normally low blood pressure is considered a great thing but one has to avoid sudden leapings out of bed, i forgot this in the wee small hours having decided i needed a pee.
i also forgot that i have taken to shutting the door between the back and front of the house, not that i could have avoided it,blood pressure dropped and so did I.……
…6 hours later it was up to 87/64 so things are improving.Basil used to make me lie on the floor with a bag of frozen peas under my neck and eat salty food while waiting for my bp to reach its usual heady heights of 99/66.….……120/80 is considered normal in average people. ..
fortunately all the cuts are on my scalp so i wont frighten people in the street.….……ooh it was sore getting the blood out of my hair.….…
so i am doing little today , i have vacuumed up all the spicules of glass ( I hope) as i am usually barefoot. and i must visit Ancient parent as she is not doing very well, i have just talked with her Doctor about things , old people can go on like this for years or just suddenly stop, it is difficult to know what to advise my brother in Denmark to do.
i suppose i should visit the casualty department to see if there is any glass in my head but i don’t fancy sitting there for hours.……and .….…oh vanity!.……i don’t want them to shave bits of my scalp.
i am even more determined to get an en-suite bathroom built in as even though the blood pressure was low at least i wouldn’t be covered in glass cuts
