I’m beginning to think that part of the numbness is related to blood pressure. It feels like the numbness has not gone down since dialysis yesterday. Likewise, my blood pressure has stayed high even though I’m taking 50 mg of Metoprolol (OK, 62.5 mg if you include the 1/2 pill I took extra) vs. 25 mg since surgery. I also feel that it’s slightly worse when I sit down for awhile. Typically blood pressure is higher sitting down vs. standing up.
I’m not sure what to do. I’ll probably need to talk to the nephrologist doing rounds tomorrow and send an email to my cardiologist afterwards. I’ll bet my blood pressure is pretty high right now since the numbness intensity seemed to increase another notch. Ugh, it’s 1:15 am so this means another night of no sleep.
