Got to GA, BP problem at 4AM

Got to GA yesterday at noon. Everything seemed fine. Hubby got up a few times in the night to use the bathroom, and his BP dropped to 50/30 and was really low for over 30 minutes, at 4AM The ambulance took him toa small local hospital and they were not a Liver hospital, so I went over his bloodwork with them. The ambulance had given him 200ml of saline drip, and it got his BP up, while waiting on the bloodowkr he got another 100 ml in the ER. He seemed OK by then, and nothing on his bloodwork jumperd out at us, so they let him go. Ithink he was just dehydrated from diuretics and fluid restriction, but keeping an eye on him.

I hope this will hold himn over til we get home.

It's those Hot Ga. Peaches .

Ziffle, those GA peaches would RAISE the BP, no?

Happy to hear he's doing better, Debbie! How often do you take his BP? I'm having to take my 3-4 x a day. It's usually very low in the morning, so I don't take my BP med. But by evening it can be elevated to 140/70. It's usually the systolic that's high on me. My resting HR can also run high.

Hugs,
