2:00 am sitting in a hospital room with our my dad. He was rushed to the hospital thinking he was having a heart attack. 5 hours later and he was released. No sign of heart attack. His blood pressure at one point was 220/90. It came back down to 173/85. He’s been running with a high blood pressure as we are trying to find an appropriate level of risk where is blood pressure may be elevated but he isn’t a fall risk from being out on medication to control the blood pressure. I guess we will continue assessments with his medical team.
Interesting to note…. He had spaghetti with tomato sauce for dinner. I wonder if he had a case of indigestion or acid reflux.
The duopa pump was disconnected on schedule at 11. When my dad was discharged from the hospital, i saw him without medication to control his symptoms. He couldn’t initiate any movement and could barely move because he was so stiff.
I wish he didn’t have to suffer with the disease. I know he is desperate for relief and is miserable. Someone got him interested in hydrogen therapy along with his duopa pump. He’s supposed to have an appointment with his neurologist tomorrow. We will see how he feels in the morning.
