My Life's Simple And Yet Compounded Long Battle: Sleep

I am just lacking on sleep already because I did managed to get a shut-eye last night but only for a brief moment and I couldn't sleep anymore after that. I probably had slept for about an hour and a half or so and now I feel like I wanted to rest but haven't had the urge again but I will definitely try simple because it is really unhealthy to be deprived of sleep.

I took one capsule of my appetite enhancer yesterday as well at late afternoon and that probably helped me to get some urge to sleep. I haven't taken my Gabapentin yet though which I was normally taking each and everytime I would go home from my dialysis treatment just to help me get a normal and restful sleep but was lately getting disturbed by the excessive residual effects of the Caffeine that I was taking at dialysis.

But I am still thankful that at least I am able to sleep nonetheless, better than not sleeping at all. I can never get an adequate restful sleep because even though I am not anemic anymore I still am having intermittent sleep plus often nowadays with racing heart issue.

I guess that it is just a tell-tale sign that my heart is giving way already because I had been a dialysis patient for years now with a semi-uncontrollable hypertension. I say "semi" because I do not take anti-hypertensives because my blood pressure always go down during my dialysis so I just decided to take it off altogether and rely on the blood pressure-lowering effects of dialysis.

So I just compute on how much water that the nurses should take from my body, the amount that I will be bone dry to ensure that my blood pressure would go down than normal so that it would get an allowance if it would go up as days passes by before my next session which it does and goes up to dangerous levels.

Dialysis Normalizes Blood Pressure When It Is Taking Out Extra Fluids And Salts From The Body

Maybe it was the cause of my frequent racing heart episodes when I am trying to sleep and my lightheadedness because yesterday my BP had been revealed to be 180 systolic. I do not like that level because it is the level that people get heart attacks and or strokes and that is part of my worry.

The cause could well be the side-dish that I ate a few days ago in succession which is really salty but I could still eat it because it was fermented and it tastes sour.

Well anyway I will definitely be having an intermittent sleep again, many factors causes it including the noisy environment that I am living into and it makes my sleep so shallow, I could only get to sleep if I am really weary and tired already. This is just what I do, eat sleep make blogs watch videos listen to music, chat a little, and repeat until dialysis time one again. That is why times passes by so quickly and yet I can't wait for the things I wanted to happen already in my life.
