Hi everyone,
Just a quick update. I went to my GP yesterday morning because I was suddenly having symptoms of circulation being cut off (I.e. Areas of my foot were blue and mottled with some bright white patches and my leg ached). He advised me to go to A&E.
When I arrived, I was told my blood pressure was 143/91 and my pulse was well over 100. They then tested my blood sugar and found it was 2.5 mmol. I did not feel any "low blood sugar" or "hunger" at this point. So it was lucky they tested me. They force-fed me sugary syrup and sandwiches. It went up to 7.4 when re-tested 15 minutes later so emergency staff were happy. It took them 8 hours to complete tests on me, cardiac-related blood tests did not show anything abnormal so they sent me home. My BP is still above 140/90. No closer to any answers, but very curious. I wish I had not wasted 8 hours in A&E!
