Hi
I am back again with the same problem... I know, we have talked about it for a while...
I have tried what was suggested, adding an extra dose of HC before going to bed (5 mg) but the problem continues.
I took 5 mg extra at 10.30 pm yesterday before going to bed.
Got up at about 1.30 am and went to the bathroom.
When I was back to bed some minutes later, I started feeling chest discomfort, lack of breath, sweats & dizziness.
Bp was even lower than the night before (when I had not taken any extra HC): 85-45 heart rate: 75 (tested laying down)
I am sure that if I had a stressful day, I would have had the acute chest pain again and not such a "light" event, but the problem continues, which is what I wanted to test by taking the extra HC before going to bed.
Now what?
85-45 is too low, don´t you think so? I would not be so worried if I had no symptoms when having this low bp, but...
I have my HC next to my bed now, as I never know when I could be needing an extra 10 mg (when I am having the chest pain)...
It is really interesting to see that all the symptoms get relieved in about 35-45 minutes after taking these 10 mg of HC...
Endocrine shock, lack of hormones, lack of a proper steroid treatment... There are many possible causes, but the problem continues and I wonder if something should be done to avoid the bp decreasing... Can this become serious?
By the way, I am looking forward to getting the blood test done ordered by the Endo (I am waiting for my menstruation to visit the Hospital´s Lab) Have the app. with the Endo mid-end April
thank you for your help,
Love,
Tessa
