Please do call the doctor on Monday, a couple of years ago my bp was running @ 270/140 and the doctors kept saying I would have a stroke for sure if I didn't care for myself and take their concoction (?) of meds, its much better now but still spikes at times though not as high anymore. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854/page/2#post-226260 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:21:10 +0000 Emma 226260@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I can't believe it.

I think I'll tell the doctor THAT, too!</p> <p>BTW, I made a report on the other thread, too, but I'm not posting anything else on it because I want to let it drop off.</p> <p>(Hm, didn't have to let it drop off, Kittenmaster's deleted it.) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225791 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:46:46 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 225791@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny, in addition to the water, try some gatorade to keep your electrolytes in balance. Also nibble on healthy snacks throughout the day. The dizziness can also be a sign of your blood sugar dropping. The best way to stay on an even keel is to nibble on snacks with some protein, like peanuts, and drink something when you snack as well. Keeping you in my prayers. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225788 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:42:43 +0000 2bpurring 225788@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you Leeny, I'm sure your dr. will understand..after all we wouldn't want to drag you into the dr. with all our claws..lol. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225784 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:32:19 +0000 Leeny 225784@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My blood pressure was good when I went to the doctor on Friday, so I don't think that's what it is. I guess I don't really know what it is, so that's why I'll call the doctor. I'll tell them I'm humoring a dear little old lady and a bunch of kitten lovers! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225778 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:16:04 +0000 2bpurring 225778@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you Emma for convencing Leeny to call the doctor..I too this year ended up at the dr with 198/101...So now I'm on meds too, but feeling better.<br /> We will be checking on you on Monday Leeny!!! {{HUGS}} and try (I know that is not easy for you) to take it easy on yourself this weekend </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225776 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:11:44 +0000 Buttercup 225776@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks Leeny,Emma is right.

I'll call on Monday. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225568 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:46:36 +0000 Emma 225568@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny, please at least call the doctor and talk with the nurse about the dizzy spells. I just get this feeling that you should, and if you would humor this dear little old lady, I would be most grateful.</p> <p>We make good nurses for others but lousy doctors for ourselves. I went to get my physical last December, and when the doctor took my blood pressure, he got very quiet.</p> <p>Then he asked me if I was having any headaches.</p> <p>"Yes, just these little ones."</p> <p>Did I have blurry vision?</p> <p>"Sometimes early in the morning, but that's because I haven't had breakfast yet."</p> <p>Any problems with dizziness?</p> <p>"Very little."</p> <p>Then he told me that my blood pressure was 202/110. I was the best candidate for a stroke at that moment than anyone else in the city.</p> <p>And I had gone for a physical because I do that every year, not for any special reason. Headaches, blurry vision, dizziness? I had a legitimate reason for everything. But my reasons were all wrong. I was convinced that I was in good health, namely because I had not died yet. And I was scared to think that something really was wrong.</p> <p>Now I am on medication, my vision is clear, headaches gone, and no more dizzy spells.</p> <p>Please at least call the doctor, sweetheart. Something is wrong, so let's get it fixed. </p> <p>And please remember that there are a lot of people that we can do without. </p> <p>You are not one of them. Losing you would leave a raw hole in the universe. Don't make us go through that. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225227 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:55:47 +0000 tinafishfrombirthplaceofElvis 225227@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{{{{{Leeny}}}}}}}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225199 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:25:02 +0000 2bpurring 225199@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny, I'm glad Mr.Leeny is trying to help and Yes I love your gravatar...Now the more important issue...Your health!!! I think you should call your doctor back and tell him how you have been feeling..I'm sure he will want you back in there.. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225197 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:23:49 +0000 miu 225197@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Get well Leeny! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-225193 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:20:15 +0000 Leeny 225193@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Last night when I got home, Mr. Leeny proudly showed me that he had swept the carpet in the living room and hallway, and changed and washed the bedclothes. That doesn't sound like much, but he was off the couch doing his job! Lately he's been asking me not to place demands on him until after the cardiac stress test on the 29th, but this he decided to do himself.</p> <p>Had another dizzy spell earlier and made myself drink about 2 cups of water; now I feel better. I'm going to have to stay on top of this. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224596 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:26:08 +0000 Rubia in CA, 4/28 224596@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh Leeny - please take care of yourself! That's a good sign, that you are feeling better after having had some water. CBM is right - you were probably badly dehydrated! I know how hard it can be to remember to drink enough water during the day. CBM's suggestion for the flavored ice cubes sounds great! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224574 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:01:42 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 224574@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>According to my doctor, when you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated. Then you have to play catch up. She also says that when you pee it should be very pale. If it's too yellow, your body is conserving water. Pale means you are hydrated and your body is getting rid of what it doesn't need.</p> <p>Try to find a bottle or cup with a top. Fill it up each morning and sip all day. I like water so drinking it isn't a problem a problem for me but my daughters don't really like drinking plain water. They make lemonade or Koolaid, with only a third of the water it calls for, and freeze it in ice cube trays. Then in the morning they fill up their big cups with flavored ice cubes and water and drink that. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224569 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:55:10 +0000 SoxsMom 224569@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny you must take care of yourself! Prayers for strength to you and wisdom to take care of yourself dear Leeny. I hope that the surprise is wonderful--you need it! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224568 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:44:33 +0000 Leeny 224568@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>During the past hour, I made myself drink three cups of water. I've just gone to the bathroom for the first time since this morning (that should tell us something) and no longer feel dizzy, just tired.</p> <p>Mr. Leeny has asked me to stay at the office until he calls me. He says he's working on something that I will like a lot when I get home. Because of his OCD, he works better without an audience. I wonder what he's doing? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224531 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:46:58 +0000 2 Popoki 224531@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad it was not too serious for Mr Leeny. Now, as for you, young lady ! Please... take are of you ! I know, easier said than done... but please do your best. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224530 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:45:32 +0000 anncetera2 224530@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny, if the dizziness persists, perhaps you really should see your doctor about it. It could be an important early symptom of a potentially more serious problem.</p> <p>(And passing out is definitely not normal.) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224499 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:48:24 +0000 Karenopa 224499@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny...I'm just coming off of a bout with dehydration and constipation and I have to say I didn't see what I was doing to myself because of all the distractions around me. I really have to stop myself and think hard if I'm getting everything my body requires each day because if 'I' don't...who will? I'm feeling much better now but for a few days there I was pretty miserable for having neglected myself. Definitely keep an eye on your liquid and fiber intake. It sounds like so little but can take you down and out quick if neglected. :D Get well Leeny! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224496 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:43:27 +0000 Leeny 224496@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm going to pick up some food on the way home. I haven't been eating at all well, and I never seem to get enough water; I just don't get thirsty, and I forget to drink.</p> <p>I'm actually feeling dizzy now; I'm just trying to get my hours in for the day. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224491 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:38:36 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 224491@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny, don't let yourself get run down; you already have shouldered so much. Adding another straw may be too much for the poor camel's back.</p> <p>Some of this may sound really basic, but are you eating well and drinking lots of water? If you are skipping meals or becoming dehydrated, you may not realize it. And that could result in a weakened system overall. </p> <p>Certainly, if you have another dizzy spell, I would call the doctor. If for no other reason, it will serve as an example to Mr. Leeny that grown-ups take responsibility for their own health and call a doctor when they aren't well. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224487 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:34:31 +0000 HuddysMama 224487@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny....maybe you should go to the doctor since you passed out. That's never a good sign. You've been so stressed out lately (and rightly so), maybe it couldn't hurt at least to just have a talk with him/her.</p> <p>Take care, and yes, your avatar is lovely. ((hugs)) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224473 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:13:47 +0000 Leeny 224473@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, Karen. Actually, I didn't start getting dizzy until 2 days after I saw the doctor, and he doesn't know about it. Mr. Leeny wanted to call him on Monday, but I didn't think it was necessary. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/8854#post-224471 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:11:49 +0000 Karenopa 224471@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny....getting dizzy doesn't sound good to me. I'm surprised at the doctor saying to leave things as they are for 6 mos. ??
