Hoping for answers #PTSD #ChronicPain #ChronicIllnessEDS #MentalHealth #Insomnia
I called my doctor to schedule to be seen as I have had low blood pressure resulting in me being extremely dizzy even when sitting or laying on the floor. My uncle witnessed an episode and he said he was concerned I might have been having a stroke. Last week I was at mom's and was doing her laundry when I felt very weak and feeling off. She checked my blood pressure and it was normal. She wanted to check my blood sugar (she's a diabetic), I didn't have the strength to make a fuss. It was low at 74. I'm bruising easier than normal for having hEDS. Because of all my medical issues I don't go to the doctor unless I deem it absolutely necessary. Every time I go it seems I'm being diagnosed with another ailment caused from having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. But I saw the reactions of my uncle and mom and I scared both of them. So yeah, this is a necessary visit. I truly want to find out why my body is behaving in these ways. I'm only 52 but many days I feel so much older. So wish me luck on finding an answer and I'm praying it's not anything serious.
