Im Sick and working from Home

October 17, 2007

Last night was a terrible night for me. My blood pressure went up to 150/93. I knew this time I have to go to the doctor.

My body is an efficient machine.It gives me signals.Im lucky for that since some people just drop dead from a heart attack. No I am not having a heart attack but I had to make sure.

I am not afraid of going to the doctor.I am more afraid of paying too much for nothing. But today was MAJOR. I went to the Doctor as soon as woke up and lo and behold I was given 13 as a queue number,I told the lady at the counter to give me another number but I dont think she heard me so she just shoved the queue number to me with a card of the doctor(in case I want to make a follow up).

So i was given 4 kinds of medicine , one for hypertension, aspirin which they said protects the heart, a pain reliever since I was having tingling feelings on the left side of my body. I was also given an ECG and the results were insignificant. Total cost was $140 for the ECG,blood test and medicines. This is why I am afraid to see the doctor.

After taking the medicines,I felt dizzy and when I checked my blood pressure it was already  97/60…So that was the reason why I felt dizzy.(low blood naman ako).

I could just smile when I remember what Niles said last night while he was watching TV about a man who had AIDS. He told his kuya Nygel" Lets look at the bright side…at least he will already see God"(meaning if he dies he will see his creator) 

  But  again I had to see the heart specialist (consultation fee is $89)on Tuesday. I hope nothings wrong with me.
