i went to rehearsal and while waiting for the drummer to show up, i got real dizzy my body felt flush and my ears started ringing, the room started spinning and i knew if i didn't get to the floor soon, i was going to end up there anyway.
evidently i blacked out and was having convulsions and vomiting all over myself. i layed there for about 30 minutes after i came to and then moved to a more comfortable place for another hour before i could sit up.
they called 911 while it was happening but i told them to cancel it.
when i was able to sit up i had them hand me my guitar to see if i had normal function and could keep time so i would know if i had had a stroke and needed to go to the hospital. everything was ok.
anyway, they drove me home yesterday and my dad took me over to get my truck this morning
i just now got back from my primary dr.
i have felt extremely weak and light headed for the past three weeks since i left the hospital
evidently the heart medicine the cardiologist prescribed has a blood pressure medication in it and caused
my blood pressure to be too low because i was already taking a blood pressure medication twice a day.
my hemoglobin was 7.4 when they sent me to the hospital for a transfusion 3 weeks ago. now its 9.6 and its supposed to be 11.4.
so, i got a ways to go.
on Tuesday the gastro doctor told me the biopsies from the endoscopy show i have Barret's Esophagus.
guess what one of the major contributing factors is?
SMOKING
I'm glad i don't smoke anymore
please stop smoking
