Low BP Man

I had to call the Doctor's office today to request a letter approving my return to work.

Immediately after, I got a call from one of my Doctor's Nurses who was just checking in to see how things were going with me. I said I was fine but reported an unusually low blood pressure for the morning. It was 72/53. I thought that was odd and took it a second time with essentially the same results.

I took it again while the nurse was on the phone and it came up a little bit but not much...92/60ish.

She called back a while later and asked if I could come in at 2:45. I said I could. 

When we got in there, we waited for a good half hour before being called in. They ran an ultra sound on my heart and then checked my device and ran an E.K.G.

Dr. B came in after a bit and said she brought me in to make sure that blood wasn't pooling around the top of my heart. That is sometimes a consequence of the surgery. She thought everything was okay and we were outta there.
