Had my appendix out on 19th April and still off work on sick, not really cos of the wounds, but my blood pressure has plummeted - i get really bad headaches every morning and feel light headed. I took my blood pressure at home at it was 83/63 this morning and 83/58 yesterday.
Has anyone experienced low blood pressure and had any advice on how to raise it - my GP said just drink loads which I am doind but it’s not really helping much.
Has anyone missed a tysabri treatment and felt like this - I wondered if they were linked!
Hi Helen, Sorry to hear your not feeling well. I had my gallbladder out and had to miss a month of tysabri, and I felt bloody awful. Terrible. I don’t remember about having bad blood pressure, I just felt so ill. The best thing I found was rest and loads of it. Maybe contact your nurse? See what they could advise u? I hope you feel better soon xx
You might have a word with your local pharmacist to see whether he/she thinks Dioralyte [sp?] would be beneficial. It may help to rebalance your body’s salts.
Other things that may help include:
IBT - inclined bed therapy, sleeping with your body at an angle, your head at a higher level than your feet. I incline my (sturdy wooden) bed by having a couple of thick wooden planks under the head end of the bed.
