Re: Blood Pressure Problemss

[Guest guest]

Ray,

An abrupt change like this sounds like an infection. Call the

doctor!

After you rule out infection, it might be time for a medication

change. What are you taking for blood pressure? Are you consuming

enough water? Taking in enough salt? (Try drinking bouillion --

it's a good source of sodium.)

Keep up posted -- we're worried about you.

Dr Ray,

I am so sorry that you are having so many problems. I hope that you

got ahold of your doctor. I don't know what to do for you since I

don't have this problem. I hope someone else can give you suggestions

but I really hope you get a hold of your doctor! I am praying for you!

God bless,

Belinda

RAY PLEASE CALL UR PHYSICIAN DIRECTLY.

THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOO.

IF U HAVEN'T ALREADY, THEN U MIGHT WANT TO INQUIRE ABOUT

1) POSITIONING AND LENGTH OF TIME IN ONE POSITION WHILE SLEEPING,

SITTING, AND STANDING.

2)FLUIDS- QUANTITY AND QUALITY.

3)WEATHER - HUMIDITY, HEAT, AIR CONDITIONING, ECT.

IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY U LIVE IN THE SOUTHWEST REGION OF THE STATES,

WHICH AFFECTS UR BODY TOO.
