Hi Bajanne, I'm sorry you've been down and hope you feel better...I've been going through a similar episode so I know how you feel. I keep a session weight and blood pressure record as well as a note book and I find that a help, and I take them with me when I see my Neph...it lets me set an agenda about what I want to talk about.
I also agree that low blood pressure is either too much fluid off too quickly or your dry weight needs adjusting.
Don't give up, mate, we need you round here.

It is hard to say which I liked best.  I liked all three in totally different ways. Maybe Bridesmaid and Cars2 tied for first place!!

I was given a referral appointment for the heart specialist.  The Neph left that for me.  My unit seems intent in my not forgetting, and ended up giving me the form at both of the last two sessions!  Definitely cannot forget now!

I ended up being admitted to the hospital so that all the tests could be run.  I had an EKG, chest x-ray and an echocardiagram.  The cardiologist says that my heart is not in bad condition, only the muscles are a bit thick because of my years of hypertension, which is now under control.  I will be having a monthly appointment to see him.
I am feeling much better these days.
Thanks to my IHD family for your caring thoughts. :grouphug;
