I am a 35 year old female weighing 150 pounds more or less.
Ok so obviously I have low blood pressure. It goes up and down really usually my readings range between 95/65 to 110/75
I couldn't sleep it is 6 am my heart felt compressed so i awoke took my blood pressure and it was 83/55 average. I was once told (Not by a doctor) that if it drops below 90/60 I should go into the hospital.
Now keep in mind that in Canada although the health care system is paid for by the taxes I will wait at the hospital for 12 hours usually until I will be seen. ok that is an honest time frame.
The last time we were in emerg my baby had to be picked up by ambulance with a gash on the hear the size of a quarter and we waited 12 hours not just us either everyone there had been in for the 12 hour wait.
SO going in to the hospital In canada is a decision not to be made lightly. It's an If My life is in danger type of a decision.
SO is my life in danger should I go in?
Oh and I also had a stupid reading of 53/ 33 That one just must have been wrong the machine goofed up.. cause if that were true I'd likely be dead already.
