readings for 8:30 pm are 108/70 and 77 with 97%. I have not been keeping this blog up as the numbers are very good. They are read every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at my rehab class. As long as the numbers are good I will not be doing a daily update. I would like my heart sate around 60 but that may happen next month.

All the 02% are on room air.

7:30 am reading is 135/85 and 68 with 96%. I am back on all pills as of last night and this morning. No fever last night so hopefully all is better.

This mornings reading at 10 am is 113/69 and 74. I monitored the readings thru the night to make sure the bp did not get very high. It did not. I am still off my blood pressure med to get the bp up. This mornings reading is much better. I still had a low grade fever late yesterday. none so far today.

Vital readings have been very good so far today. 126/85 and 70 this morning.

Let me get you updated. Last Wednesday morning thru yesterday I was having low bp and elevated heat rate. My bp at the start of the rehab was 113/xx with a 8x heart rate indicating something was wrong. My ability to do the exercises was restricted and had to use 02 most of the time I was there. My exit bp was 99.60 with the heart rate still elevated. My normal rate is 60. Above 70 means I have something wrong.

I went to my 2 pm doctors appointment and had an ekg and my vitals taken. The first medical assistant  was unable to get my bp as she could not hear it.A second person came in and was also unable ot get my bp on the first try. The second try she was successful and got 88/58. My bp was low thru Friday bit not that low.

Friday night I ran a fever of 100.4 and woke up Saturday with no fever and feeling fine. I would call that normal for me. I did two loads of clothes and took a nap around 3 pm. I woke up at 6:30 pm with a warm feeling. My temp was talken at 7 pm with a 99.8 reading. At 8 pm the temp reading was 99.9. With all I have wrong, my temp cutoff is 103. Above that is a call for an ambulance and a trip to the hospital. Any infection I would have is life threatening above that number.

With an elevated heart rate, my ability to process 02 into the blood steam and exchange C02 out is restricted. My saturation level drops from room air at 97-99% to 92-94%. At that lower level I have to have 02 assist and breath very laboriously. I am basically unable to speak while I am trying to inhale as much 02 as possible.

Bp as of the end of this is 107/74 and 67. I have stopped my bp med to get my bp to rise to higher level. so far I have been off that med 24 hrs now.

7:30 am readings are 145/94 and 60 with 98%. No readings as I was at hospital with Shirley's mom. She has a broken femur at the hip and surgery to repair the break. She is doing very well.

As long as my readings are stable as they have been, I will post only twice daily.

I went to the 1st of many lung rehab classes today. I signed many papers and filled out a questioner of my COPD and what it is and how to deal with it. I will be attending class 3 times a week for 12 weeks which hopefully improves my physical being to be a stronger person. that wont take much as I have had to deal with  heart problem from April, 2010 to now with a continuing high heart rate. I will have an appointment with a cardio doctor to due another procedure later at a time to be determined.

To those in the medical field that read this, your comments and alerts are most welcome.Should it be necessary for me to seek medical help. best to email me or make an appointment for me to see a doctor. I will have been to the ER if necessary and then that will be posted with the why and results.

7am readings are 160/85 and 60 and 97%. I made my appointment with my VA primary doctor this morning and updated him on all my happenings over the last 6 months. My meds were updated to those in effect by my lung and cardiac doctors while I was hospitalized. My vitals and weight were very good and he was happy with my labs from Harris Fort Worth. I will see him next March, 2013 for the next scheduled appointment.
