Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hello all......how is everyone doing. I am not feeling to well today...I got up this morning and took my insulin and pills a normal and then made myself a couple of hard boiled eggs...well I ate them and then went to get on the computer......I was sitting here for about 5 mins when I started to feel funny...So I am thinking my blood sugar is low and start to drink some orange juice and call my wife at work asking her to come home.....It seemed like everytime I would stay up I felt like I was going to pass out......so after drinking 32 ounces of oj, I checked my blood and it was at 85...so I am thinking, cool, it is on its way back up.....my wife arrives and I am the shower feeling a little better......I dry off and get dressed and am thinking the feeling is once again gone.....I Tell my wife that I am ok and that she should go back to work....she did so reluctantly.....about 5 mins letter I get the same feeling like I am going to pass out.....so I call her on her cell phone and she comes back and we go to the ER.....by the time we arrive at the ER I need help getting out of the car......and they wheel me into the ER and slap a heart monitor on me.....My heart is racing at times up to 160 bpm and my blood pressure is 197 or 90.....I was beginning to shake all over...so they hooked up an iv and gave me ativan and benydrl. Slowly I start to relax some.....my body felt like I was made of rubber bands and they were are stretching in different directions......I was really scared.....told my wife over and over again that I loved her.....The ER staff here in bend is awesome and I know them all very well.....One of the Dr came in and asked how my panc was doing.....I said it hurt, but not bad enough for me to come into the ER.......He said, well that is a positive point...atleast we shouldn't have to worry about that right now.....they ran all sorts of test.....I am at a loss though as to why my blood sugars have just been crashing.....As soon as I get back on my feet so to speak, I will find some info about this and they pass it onto everyone.....I just wanted everyone to know what was going on.....I have received a few emails from some people and I promise I will write back the answers as soon as I can. Stay in touch everyone. I hope this finds you and yours well Mark E. Armstrong casca@... www.top5plus5.com PAI NW Rep ICQ #59196115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
