Hyper-tension

Hiya,

I spend 3 days in hospital (again!) but this time it was not for food poisoning but for high blood pressure. I did not feel well for the last weeks and was very tired so I went twice to see the doctor last monday and tuesday. She was worried because my tension was quite high for my age, I had 14. She gave me a treatment and adviced me to do some blood testing in order to diagnose what I was suffering from. On tuesday afternoon I left work and went home as I felt very dizzy and weak. I slept the whole day, wednesday I was still feeling sick so my nice friends (Special big up to Molly and Sory, Thanks buddies ;)) brought me to hospital. When I arrived there, the doctor took my tension and could not believe that it could be so high so he asked other doctors to take it, tried several times on my two arms. My tension was up to 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Straight away they did an electrocardiogram to check my heart and decided to hospitalise me for three days. They did a series of blood testings, chest x-ray ect.... I am FINE just got anemia. I was so down I slept none stop for almost 4 entire days! When I left hospital on friday my tension had already decreased to 12,8. I stayed the whole WE home sleeping, watching DVDs and had 3 days sick leave. I was on intravenous drip (IV) (sous perfusion) and on the last night at hospital, I do not know how, but the IV's tube broke and my blood burst out everywhere. I suddenly woke up and saw the bed full of blood, press the emergency button and the nurse came to save me lol!. Later I though what would have happened if I had not woke up???? Better not thinking of it!

Tomorrow I have to do a heart scan just to be sure that everything is fine.

I think I was just extremely tired and stressed but now I am feeling well. I will take it easy! Soon I will be on holidays for almost a month. Hope to see some of you in Paris.

Je vous embrasse bien fort
