Calcium is ... VERY BAD. It may burst your heart valves. If you are not on a diuretic, I recommend to stop taking the calcium, or at least to cut it down to once a week.

If you are on a diuretic (also VERY BAD, as one will pee out essential electrolites and other stuff - like the skeleton), I do not know what to recommend.

There are way too many long-term consequences. I know you don't want to see a doctor, but this is one scenario where seeing him/her is important. Bruised face? - not so much - but life altering conditions - in a heart beat!

Status: offline 		Actual when Brad was alive, ( he had an arm lenghts of problems) when his blood pressure would go up the Dr would have me give him water....which in turn I had to monitor because of his congestive heart failure. I would not say chug the water but just drink it in moderation to keep hydrated. Pahunkboy, after dealing with Brad's medical problems for almost 5 years I would strongly suggest you see your Dr. I know we had to change and mix up Brads meds every so often because some would just stop working. I wish you the best and hope you get a home blood pressure kit they are a great thing to have.

I am editing this to say NONE OF US are your DR, and they are the only one that knows whats best for you. They know all your problems and what will and will not work for you. Please seek yours out.....its your life your playing with.

That's crap. You absolutely need calcium. You have to have calcium for proper muscle function, which includes the heart.

He's going to pee out his skeleton? That's going to hurt!

No, tell him to go to the Doctor.

His medicine may be ineffective.

Why do so many try and play physician? People can answer medical questions like... how to put a bandaid on... how do you insert a catheter... Im going for this surgery, what can I expect pain wise afterwards.

But when it comes to medication and how to treat disease processes, thats best left up to the experts. I could have given him a list of home remedies for his BP... which would have been very foolish for me to do. I dont know his medical history. I dont know what meds he is on. I dont know why he is on them.

Im not a physician... Im a nurse.

The only advice he should be given is...

Go see your Doctor.

That's crap. You absolutely need calcium. You have to have calcium for proper muscle function, which includes the heart.

People also absolutely need water, not so? I bet that whenever you see someone drowning, you walk up to them, Jesus-like, and admonish them that they must stop screaming for help because water is healthy and they absolutely need to drown in it.

I dont know his medical history. I dont know what meds he is on. I dont know why he is on them.

The problem with one medication is that there are side effects that obfuscate the presenting symptoms. He has eight medications. I doubt any physician can then still see the wood for all the trees that are in the way. I most certainly cannot.

Last time I was in it was for 2 hours- looking up each med- and it may or may not do ABC XYZ- it was an all day visit- to pretty much be told it is all your head.

Status: offline 		If you are not happy with the Dr you have why not find one you are more comfortable with?

The more meds you take the longer it takes to get them all in balance. But your Dr can't help if you do not go and the longer you wait the longer it will take.....because sometimes other test are needed to figure out what you need to be taken. Listen I dislike Dr and hospitals, ( after spending the last five year in them with Brad on an almost every day bases till his death).....but when its someone life you do what you have to......other wise you are setting yourself up to self-destruct.

I also wonder why you are putting a neighbor in a position where she may have to be the one that is making that call for you? If she finds you unresponsive she has to be the one to make that call, when you are the one putting yourself in that position by choice. I understand having someone in case but not when you are purposely setting yourself up.....doesn't seem fair to her. That's just my two cents and maybe I read wrong in your earlier post, but that is how I read it.


You have been advised more than a few times to call your Dr., hopefully you will do so.

She was just going to stop taking the new med (it was for allergies) but I insisted she call the doctor. That day she was taken to the ER with blood clots in her lungs that could have killed her if she didn't call her doctor.
