On Sunday morning I felt unwell. Heart was racing and balance was dodgy. So we went to the A&E. After 4 hours I was seen,blood taken and BP checked.(BP 210 ) A look of concern and an ECG was required. Results of the ECG and I was admitted to the hospital (take your overnight bag was mentioned) Many tests, X-Ray of the chest,BP and blood sugar taken every few hours. I have had 4 saline drips and 4 Vitamin B drips and BP pills increased. I still felt dizzy and ill. Monday and starting to feel better (another night in hospital) Today I was seen again by another of the hospital doctors. BP down and feeling much better. I pleaded to go home. Once the paperwork was completed Mrs Peter could come and get me. A couple more pills to take and a visit to the GP next week plus the diabetes nurse ( I have type 2 controlled by diet) I must say the nurses and Drs were brilliant and overworked. Also anyone who still smokes on a regular basis think about giving up the wards are full of them. I'm not out of the woods yet but it is great to be home.

Best way to lower that blood pressure is to buy a few farthings Always works for me....wishing you a speedy recovery!!
