My blood pressure as I arrived is 180/90 and after a while as I got rested a few minutes in the dialysis room it went down to 160/80 and after I got hooked-up it went to 140 so in that instance i already had some worries in my head that I could have another bout of blood pressure crashing down.
True enough after eating (and I ate a lot) my BP went down to 100 so they adjusted my dialysis, usually adding more saline solution to my body until it goes up a bit. Then on the second hour my BP is only 80 and I really wasn't feeling anything at that moment, only the normal discomfort that sometimes a dialysis brings.
In the third hour the nurse couldn't her the pulse on my arm anymore, the other side of the elbow part of the arm as she takes my BP reading. A few times she did and finally used the stethoscope but could hear that first gush of blood that coincides to the sphygmomanometer dials but still she could not hear anything so she passed the thing to the other nurse and then to the head nurse.
Oddly enough my BP reads 30 on the scale and I was really surprised that I was not blacking out. So they put the machine to run in "minimum" and it just means I am no longer getting a good clean as indicated by the orange light on the sides of the monitor of the dialysis machine.
It is quite annoying and true enough I haven't been taken off completely with extra water from my body. My next dialysis will be next Tuesday and it will be a long wait with me exercising my full self control regarding my water intake. This means that I have to do some drastic changes and I plan to eat two times per day. With one meal as my meal replacement milk in about half a cup of water and the other meal of maybe fruits for supper.
It is a hard situation that I have to live by from now onwards and it feels like my existence was being mocked in a very peculiar extraordinary manner.
