Yes Sisters and Brothers. It is sad but true!!!!!!!!! I am in the F****** hospital again. I have lost count on the number of times that is this year!!! Did not even make it a week this time. Last Monday I woke up in the hospital. Yesterday my BP crashed to 52/35 at my doctor's office when I went to get my return to work release. This has been going on for 18 months now. I have spent at least 2 weeks in the hospital, 2 weeks at home recouping. How the hell am I going to get any brewing done, let alone drinking what's left. I apologize for dumping on you guys yet again. I do appreciate it. THANKS!!!

Good luck in another recovery! It will be one hell of a party when you return to brewing and drinking! Hopefully not ending in another trip to the hospital!

What can we do on this end to help you out other than prayers?
Do they have any idea what the problem is?

There is no man so sick that a pretty nurse can’t make it just a little bit better!
What a miserable feeling to just not know what the problem is. I’ll pray they figger it out and get you up among the brewing populace.

Sorry to hear about that. Alb, that may be so, but with blood pressure that low, I don't think they want him losing blood pressure to other areas.

I hope that gets figured out, and you get better soon.
Everyone here needs to make some Goze for you or something. Salty beer should be good for the low BP.

No need to apologize -- keep us informed and feel free to vent the frustrations as needed. I really hope the doctors get things figured out and that you're back on your feet again soon.

have you had your heart checked out? my middle brother has extremely low bp... his heart basically isn't working anymore. they put him on something to force it to keep beating because he cant get a pump put in to regulate things. sorry to hear things have been sucking so badly.

Jeez not again. Man that s#$s HB3.
It sure seems like low blood pressure is something that they could solve/diagnose.
I guess you've done the second opinion route by now?
Maybe the Mayo Clinic? They basically throw the entire medical staff at a problem so that every specialty can get involved when needed.
I went to the one in Arizona a long time ago and I was very impressed with their approach.
Best wishes from me and BB2.

BB's I am at one of the largest research and teaching hospitals in the state. They finally took me off BP meds. Going home this afternoon. Let us see if I can manage to stay out this time.
My heart is very strong and not an issue. Seem to have a mineral deficit. They want me to drink pedilyte and a beer or two a day. Evidently the docs know HB is good for you. They told me either HB or a local brewpub. One even recommended one that is on the way home.

Seriously, they are basically saying 'drink 2 beers and call me in the morning'. Heck, I'll drink to that.
Did they just figure out it's a mineral deficit or this has been ongoing? Lots of medicines deplete your system of things so have them take a look at all your meds (i'm sure they already have).
