I ate a lot prior to my dialysis treatment, sucked on candies, and still my blood pressure went down
I am trying to avoid drinking coffee anymore because I have a risk of getting heart attack or stroke because of my high hemoglobin levels. I do not want my veins or capillaries to get narrow and also my blood pressure to go up, the reasons why I am not drinking coffee but an anemic coffee only. It is because it helps me to swallow my food.
That is why I am taking blood thinner to at least minimize that risk while my doctor hopefully figure's out how to deal with my quite scary health issue now. It is because just a small blood clot could end my history.
Anyway, I always wanted my blood pressure elevated prior to my dialysis treatment. That is why in the past I was using caffeine pills or even energy drinks so that my heart will pump good. However even if I am already palpitating, my blood pressure will still goes down sometimes.
Palpitating heat scares me because it feels like it will be the final moment. Last Friday my heart was palpitating maybe due to the nervousness brought by low blood sugar. I would begin to feel tired and no energy and at the same time I would feel difficulty in breathing and flashes on my eyesight. If I would suck on candies, the said symptoms would disappear and I felt that on Thursday morning and Friday until Saturday morning.
That is why I called my brother to help me see a Hematologist and sort of gave him my last will just in case I would die tooo in the future. Thanks be to God this brother of mine had been a gift of God for me right from the start so I saw a doctor that very afternoon. But after his visit I felt well again and the nervousness, all that palpitation went away as soon as he arrived to our house.
My back hurt while we had been waiting in the laboratory center but that is OK but my main worry will be what will be the findings on the tests and the appropriate mode of treatment. I only have a limited fund and I do not want all of it to be spent on me again. So I am praying to God to rescue me from another problem again.
So some key take-aways on what happened last week was that my blood sugar gets low fast and I have to have some at least candies with me at all times to help prevent the symptoms of low blood sugar like palpitations, weakness, breathing difficulties, and feeling of low oxygen in the brain. Heart palpitations for me now is more pronounced because I gained a lot of weight with water lately and I can't go back to my previous weight.
Another one that I have to do is to limit m coffee consumption to drinking small amounts of sweet water with coffee flavor so that my veins and all the blood passageways will remain normally wide. I am still worried and scared but I will trust God for what he will do into my life because I am just lucky to have seen this world, met my lovedones, and came to know and serve God to what I can all do with his love, patience, and mercy.

I still don't know why you gave up on coffee since it widens the blood veins and helps against pain. Ever ate a coffee bean? How black tea?
It sounds you still have no idea what you causes it but for sure nerves and the warm temperature will all affect your health.
How long will it take before you receive the results?
I still drink coffee but It is like a sweet hot water with coffee flavor. I regret to do it but it seems better for me to drink less now.
I will find-out what the lab test shows when the doctor sees it. The other two will not be out after more than a week from Saturday. So my next doctor's visit will be next week God-willing. I hope that I will not be in trouble and all be OK.
