I Have Made A Mistake About My Dialysis Today
I underestimated my body and had forgone the idea that I should eat prior for my dialysis. It is because it is just too early in the morning and I had thought that nothing will not go wrong. Well again it went wrong as my BP went parabolically low right from the second hour after I got hooked up.
And so my nurses had done their usual SOP which is to add more sodium saline solution twice because my BP went as far back as 70/40 and I was really trying to endure it until maybe 21 minutes before the termination time my vision again had started to dim and I was beginning to black-out which means that not much blood is already going to my brain plus my neck is already hurting.

My guts already is starting to churn like I was having the urge to defecate. Fortunately as soon as my blood was returned I recovered faster and my vision returned plus that pain in my neck had subsided as well because they are just the symptoms of a very low blood pressure that got corrected.
Maybe those might got prevented if I only had some meal before being hooked up which I failed to do. So for now on I will make it a point to just eat something so that in the future my dialysis treatment quality will not get affected because I needed to finish my session gracefully without a fuss because I am only getting dialysis twice a week that is for me is not enough because of my extra body fluid issues.
Thank God for that. And I hope it will not repeat again
This sounds so hard. Try not to underestimate your body.
