Since my right arm is pretty much immobilized during dialysis, I can’t really write or take notes. However, I do have a blood pressure app on my iPhone that’s used to download data from my BP cuff, and it allow you to make manual entries. So during dialysis, each time the machine took my blood pressure readings, I typed it into my phone. Here’s the report/chart for this morning:
Not too bad finally. This is without taking the Metoprolol and Olmesartan before dialysis. We removed the Crit-Line monitor but still removed about 3,200 mL of fluids today. The first reading at 5:40 am was 139/75, and the final standing reading was 107/59. A bit low due to orthostatic hypotension, but the nurses let me go home if the systolic number is >100.
