So, long story shortened, I passed out at work. I work at a mental health hospital, so I was able to get vitals done immediately. My blood pressure was a whole 72/46. Called my OB and he wanted me to come in then, but I was in no condition to drive. The nurse in the ward I work in gave me salt tablets and had me go walking and we've only been able to get it up to 90/60. Now, headed to the woman's hospital.
*UPDATE* I got home from the hospital about 2 hours ago. I'm fine, no dehydration or anything. My blood pressure was all over the place the past few hours while being monitored. It spiked to 154/96 and back down close to where it was when I had the episode earlier. My OB simply asked if I had been having headaches - which I had - and then non-chalantly attributed the blood pressure craziness to standing too long and not sleeping enough. I guess it's getting to be time for modified work schedules/duties and extended sleep. He also gave me a prescription for some pain pills for the headaches and promethazine solely as a sleeping aid. My lesson, even as a STM, has been learned!! *Take care of yourself!!!* I'm glad it's nothing serious, and I hope everyone will be careful with themselves as well. Don't work through the pain/stress!!
