I am sick of being sick!
My doctor recommended that rather than carry the nitroglycerin spray in my pocket for use as needed, that I go on a small nitro pill every day. I took it yesterday morning for the first time.
The pill resulted in 24 hours of hell!
As I think back, there have been three events in my life that caused me much discomfort and pain. The time I had e.coli, the time I had 25 per cent of my colon removed and the small intrestine and colon got screwed up, and the spasm when my back goes out.
There is now a fourth. What the nitroglycerin pill did to me.
A headache such as I have never experienced before. Like my head was going to explode. Big time nausea. Blood pressure down to around 90 over 50. No high blood pressure last night!
It was a horrendous day and night. Slept not one minute. Did not think I was ever going to get better.
I telephoned my doctor last night. His nurse advised stop taking the pill and go to bed…..you will be better in the morning. She was correct. I am.
She also told me my stress test results were ok. I see the doctor Thursday for a follow up.
There was no way I could do my blog talk radio show last night. Absolutely no way! That is why I was not there for you who listened in.
Enough of sickness. I feel fine this morning. I expect to stay that way. It is like I will tolerate no further problems. Not that any of us has control over such things.
One thing I cannot understand. When I drank a lot and used to raise hell, I always felt good. Now that I have backed off a bit, I seem to have one problem after another.
Enjoy your day!
