...not good. I have to start eating TODAY.
My blood pressure back in February was apparently normal but this morning was 90/50 and when she asked me to stand up it dropped again to 80. She quickly told me to sit down again and said that it was 'horribly low' and she wasn't at all happy. I'm to have bloods taken on Thursday just to check I'm not anaemic or something.
She said that she's surprised I'm not passing out every five minutes and that I was to start refeed immediately. I'm also to nibble at salty things throughout the day which I'm not happy about either as that's not sticking to the refeed plan! :cry:
Doing LT on my holiday is apparently out of the question as I'm so lacking in salt as it is the sun making me sweat out more could only make me worse and would 'knock me for six'. *le sigh*
However, she did not say that I couldn't continue with this after I come back from Gibraltar. I figure start refeed today, have a complete break from TFR whilst on holiday and when I come back give it a go again. If I start getting symptoms again then I'll quit whilst I'm ahead. I shouldn't need to be on it too long though as I've only got about 2 stone more to lose.
:cry: Frustrated isn't the word... I understand her reasoning completely and whilst I know that LT is not the cause of my episodes, I don't think it's helping.
Oh, another good thing is that she's almost positive it's not epilepsy which is what she had been worried it was last time.
So kinda mixed emotions right now...
