I'm thinking that I shouldn't look anymore at WebMD. Jana and I laugh about WebMD because we are always self-diagnosising ourselves. I know that on Brad's side of the family people have had kidney problems and I think it's related to the high blood pressure. Ever since I left the ER I have been feelin extreme fatigue and am having a really hard time waking up. It's as if my body can't move. I'm very dizzy and feel quite out of it. I took a nap yesterday and I usually have a hard time falling asleep when trying to take a nap. I don't even remember falling asleep. Lee was in and out of the room putting up laundry and I didn't even stir. That's soooo unusual for me.
This morning I'm having the same problem. My body is having a hard time waking up. I feel like I've been given phenergan or pain killer into my veins. Or when I've had to wake up from anethesia. I don't like this feeling. I don't know why it's all of the sudden hitting me like this. I looked up the drugs that they gave me at the Dr.'s office and the ER and none of them should have an effect like this on me.
So I type in "fatigue hypertension" on WebMD. It brings me to a list of symptoms. Yup, I've got hypertension (duh, we already knew that). Then I look at the links associated with kidney problems w/ hypertension and heart problems w/ hypertension. I already knew that kidney problems occur with hypertension. I've got the protein in my urine which is not good. I do have to go to the bathroom more frequently at night, that's bothered me for years. The heart problems with hypertension have to do with the heart not being able to get enough oxygen and nutrients through the heart. This causes the heart to englarge (which I have now) to pump more blood through the body. This all doesn't sound very good.
Maybe I'm making this out to be more than it is. I just don't understand why I'm still so dizzy and feel so out of it. I don't like this. Oh yeah, and the heart disease with hypertension is the leading cause of death of those with hypertension. Great. I should stop reading about this. I do want to be informed though of what is happening with me. I don't like being in the dark. I can't wait until tomorrow to go to the Dr. and see what they can do to make this better. I promise I'll take all my meds. I don't want to die. I want to see my kids grow up. It's just scared the crap out of me. Especially since I've got this weird feeling over me. I can't shake it.
