My 75 yr old Mother-n-law takes different meds for Blood Pressure and she also started taking Celexa almost 2 mths ago. Low Blood Pressure runs in her family. She also consumes 3 or more 12oz Vodka with a couple of shots of tonic water. Sorry, here's the Question[s]: This morning she was ok, then about 1 1/2 hrs later she broke out into a Sweat! She became Shaky and she is supposed to be on #2 to #3 on Oxygen. Well, about 1 mth ago She took herself Off of the Oxygen. She checks her levels with the Finger monitor. Before I checked her BP, we checked her Oxygen level, which was 83 & her Heat Beat was 60. I went and got her portable and turned it to #3 and she used it for a short. Then I took her BP readings: 72/51 Pulse 61, [I waited about 5 minutes then rechecked to make sure it was reading correctly] it was 76/50 pulse 63, [then about 15 min later I checked it again] 77/55 pulse 61. She isn't unhealthy for being 75! I called her Doctor {not a personal family physician, just one she saw once in a while for years} and I explained everything. The doctor told me to get her to the Hospital. So, I called my Husband who thankfully was working in town today and explained everything. There is No making her go. She requested him to make her an appt with Dr. Backup; it's this Tuesday @ noon. She looks better than she did earlier. But I am still Concerned. Should I be worried or just Relax knowing she has an appt in about a Week!!
Sincerely,
Tina
