Heart Down

One of mysteries a team of doctors has been trying to answer  is, why did I pass out back in October?
There are lots of ideas but nothing better than guesses.
Very frustrating since I would like to drive again.

Then on last Thursday my daily walk did not go well.

Sure looked like it was going to be another heart attack.
Back home, my blood pressure was at 279/173.
Interestingly, I started to have breathing problems.
But I did not even realize this until early morning Monday morning what was wrong!

Friday, I felt horrible but struggled to do what I do.
My walk did not go well again.
My youngest daughter had to retrieve me.
It had taken me 45 minutes to walk only two blocks towards home!
And I had another half mile to go!
Still high blood pressure, 186/109.
But why?
My mind is really muddled now,
But I am trying to think this out.

Saturday I stayed home.
I drank only water, no tea!
No sodium in nothing I ate.
Blood pressure dropped towards normal.
Well no real news there.

Sunday evening I spiked at 225/121.

I was in such pain by Monday!
But no ability to even try and reach my phone.
Yeah, I was ready for an ambulance!
But it was to get worse!
My breathing kept stopping!
but my blood pressure was only 132/87 !

Seeing the heart specialist this afternoon ...

What is going on!

Of course, there is no fixed reason this happened last October, nor now.
More tests.
More lack of answers ....
