RE: Life Journal: I have some Trouble Reaching my Target Weight
Can you lift your feet when you feel a bit restless? Removing the fluids can really lower it. @Errymil are u a dialysis nurse??

I am the only patient there that likes to lay down flat from start to finish even when I'm eating @immarojas
Lifting my legs helps but not if the dialysis is on going. When the blood is returned, the restlessness subsides and I begin to feel normal again.
I thought you were reclining..lifting it about a ft should be ok.
It is just one way, but the immediate way for them to raise the blood pressure is to add fluids which really I do not like because I cannot tolerate much fluids anymore between dialysis.
Why give fluids when you're already having dialysis to remove excess water..can they not slow it down?
Where mo do dialysis mo, manila ka ba kuya? National Kidney institute?
Its what they do to raise the BP. They also put sodium in my system because it raises BP too.
Taga Bulacan po ako pero sa Paombong nagpapa-dialysis.
Now I get it..yeah a bit of saline to pull extravascular fluids to intracellular. But pwede daw trendelenburg position, itaas ang paa. Or i-slow down ang filtration at the end.
Yes they do that in combination saka infusion ng saline solution.
You've got what it takes.
Napaaral ako ng di sa oras lolsss thanks for that.Havent checked new posts to be curated but later i will.

Wonderful job.
You've captured my attention.
This is awe-inspiring.
Sodium absorbs water.. eh di along me tubeg sa system.
Its like this.
When they see that I might get hypoed, they will set the machine to give me some sodium or salt. It will in effect raise my blood because in effect I will absorb more water, then the BP will rise.
In cases where my BP is too high, they will set the machine to take more sodium from my body/blood, the reverse will happen and it will lower my BP.
At the back of every machine there is a supply of salt that it takes when needed.
Sometimes I am annoyed because my BP is not high enough for them but I am feeling relaxed, then they will do those things to raise my BP and will make my heart jumpy in the process.
Am more cardiac kc..thu ive never heard of that management. Ask ko nga frend ko. Or research ko maya. It doesnt sit well on me.
