Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Last week I fasted 18 hrs for a routine blood draw. Routine exam of heart, lungs were normal. Next day I ate half a bag of nuts prior to popcorn. The next morning there the bowel movement was like sludge and there was red flood in the water. None since and stools are normal. However, my blood pressure has been very low - like 94 over 58 probably being the lowest - and sometimes it is normal - like 115 over 76. I feel fine, no aches or pains....just tired. I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you
