Just wondering
I woke up this morning to 54 degree weather and after having skipped the 5 mg of blood pressure last night, I am beginning to feel like myself. I have even baked a fresh loaf of banana bread this morning. The thing I am wondering about though is: It is often said that one out of every four (?5) folks 65 and over fall, need help and/or break a bone, often a hip. I would like to know how many of those that fall are actually being over treated with drugs like BP meds and others. Oh, I know "you must take your BP meds to avoid a stroke", but every time I have suggested my dosage is too much, another test for another cause is ordered. The first time was a test for sleep apnea (cost $4000), the last time angiogram to see if my stents are plugging up....no they were clean, but while under the anesthetic they decided to stent an existing collateral flow. NO, I don't feel better! I'm having a damned hard time getting up in the morning. So why is another cause of sleeping too much and feeling very tired and fatiued even looked for until a trial of less medication!!!!!
