Dizzy!

Yesterday, before lunch, I had a brief episode of dizziness. We all have them. The world spins for a few seconds, then it gets better. Well, this time it got worse, and worse.

I stumbled into my Office Manager's office, and asked to be driven to the doctor's office. I was scared. It was awful!

We go to the doctor, he diagnoses an inner ear thing (no infection), and REALLY high blood pressure. He wanted to put me on stronger blood pressure meds, which I was allergic to. A second BP measurement showed that the blood pressure was better (my theory is that the bad dizziness caused a panic attack, which made my blood pressure spike, which made the blood pressure worse).

Thankfully, everything got better overnight. But it was scary.

Now, my mission to to rest, and remain calm.
