I know there are many of you who possess more expertise than I.
Today I had a very scary situation getting ready for the day. Doing my final bathroom preparations I became more shaky and wobbly than usual. I went downstairs right away to get breakfast and sit down. Before I could get anything to eat, I became extremely nauseous, profusely sweaty, dizzy, and breathing quite rapidly (not enough to satisfy my need). I sat down in the bathroom fearing getting sick, put my head down by my knees as I tried to prepare in case of passing out.
This lasted for about 5-10 minutes. As it subsided and I stood up, I noticed a very pale face and became cold. I started wiping the sweat away, got some food, and sat down with water.
My PCP believes this was a low blood pressure incident.
Is this common/normal? My blood pressure has been high since the onset of my disease. Just yesterday, my pressure was 108/60 which was much lower than usual.
Thank you for any information. I greatly appreciate all who can lend support.
