Hi everyone.
I hope you're all having a better night than me :weep: I have got myself into a right state; shivering and shaking. I have suffered with HE for 6 years (mainly heart.) I only got an hour's sleep last night because every time I drifted off i was jolted awake by a surge of adrenaline and my heart pounding. Felt really out of sorts today (obviously! No sleep, but to me it's because there's something terribly wrong. Doh!)
So anyway, I should be shattered tonight, but instead I'm feeling the same way as I did last night; head pressure/heart pounding periodically/thirsty/shaky. I just know I won't be able to sleep again and i hate it :weep: I'm convinced my blood pressure is sky high and I'm going to have a stroke or something. I was just about to confront my fear and check my bp, but the batteries in the monitor have leaked. I don't know whether to be pleased or petrified.
I had a glucose test at the chemist last week which was normal. I had convinced myself that all this stuff was down to blood sugar. My bp was quite high there though... 159/82. I've never had high bp in my life, so i'm really scared.
I just want to sleep. I feel so awful :weep:
