Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I've been feeling especially poorly; I had my mom come over the other night (Thursday) as I felt so bad. I ended up only getting 3 hours of sleep. Last night, I didn't sleep a wink, and by 4 a.m., I just felt as if my heart would stop. To me, my pulse felt very weak and soft. So I called my mom; she came over, and she called the rescue. We live ina small town, and my mom is the town clerk here, so she knows all the guys on the FD, PD, EMTs, etc. Well, long story short; they took me up to the hospital; the ER ran some blood tests. My vital signs were all fine. Everything came back in the normal ranges, but can crunch the numbers? Here's what they did: Sodium 137 133-145 MEQ/L Potassium 3.8 3.5-5.1 MEQ/L Chloride 103 96-108 MEQ/L Carbon Dioxide 28 22-31 MEQ/L ION Gap 10 10-18 MEQ/L BUN 11 8-22 MG/DL Creatinine 0.71 0.50-1.40 MG/DL Glucose 94 70-99 MG/DL Calcium 9.0 8.4-10.2 MG/DL EST GFR >60 >60-mL/min They did a bunch more-- WBC, RBC, platelets, etc., they did not do a thyroid panel or cortisol. I've had headaches off and on for a few days, feel light headed and no energy at all. Also, It seems like I can't regulate my temperature at night-- I get overheated, and I'm up all night peeing every couple of hours (but I'm not drinking). Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
