I had a blood pressure of 60 over 20 something. My daughter, some of her friends and I were at a mahvelous hotel lounge in Seattle....the posh kind where they open the door for you, a real, live piano player in the corner and everything. lol.
The drinks were $13 dollars which were atrocious, until...................we found out that Micheal, the mahvelous bartender made them like a north Idaho drink...2 shots. He was a real mixologist and made his own concoction out of ginger and some other liquers. Delicious. He let us sample a little taste of this and that. But seriously, honestly, I only had about the equivelent of 2 1/2 or 3 drinks, but in a relatively short time and on an almost empty stomach...had hardly any lunch.
Anyhow, I was NOT drunk, I swear to you....not even buzzed. We split the most stupendous hamburger and got up to go the to restroom when suddenly, I felt over whelmingly dizzy and squatted down so I wouldn't fall down. I did not get to feeling better and felt increasingly crappy. So, they called 911 and I lay on a couch right there. How embarrasing. No sign of heart attack or stroke...totally coherrant but almost non existent blood pressure. Then I threw up in the ambulance in a bag thing.
Anyhow, long story not so short, after a couple bags of IV fluids and anti nausea meds and potassium (which was very low) I felt better pretty much. It turns out I am hypothyroid which was not likely the cause of the low BP. Maybe it was a combination of very little sleep the last couple nights, even a little alcohol on an empty stomach, oh and strong coffee before the drinks...and I forgot to drink much water at all that day....was dehydrated.
So, whew! Yours truly is still alive, had Jack in the box breakfast and am set to lazy around all day and watch movies with Emily.
