Bit dizzy again

Hi guys had another dizzy spell today. Quite a nasty one and had to fight all the way to stay conscious. Checked blood pressure 34/23. Out of curiosity I checked fit bit to see if anything was captured and heart rate was 191. Wish they'd hurry up with reveal device. Don't know why they think it's acceptable to live like this

These symptoms are so terrifying and can really make you feel so low. I really hope you're seen soon.

Only on aspirin as very symptomatic to drugs they've tried. Hence reveal device. I walk bout 6 km most days work allowing so don't think I'm overdoing it. I'm 7 months post HA

This must be horrible for you heart rate higher than mine and Im struggling when mine races. I agree with Happyjo try calling ambulance to get fairly instant readings taken & hopefully treatment! Good luck.

I am slightly confused - it happens - so although you may find the question patronising it is only because of my confusion. Fit Bit has nothing to do with a doctor or a hospital, it is just a group of like minded people trying to get fit again. For a source of medical information, you might as well go to the local news agents. From the figures I see, you are knocking it out a bit and say that rehabilitation is supposed to be enjoyable and NOT to make you so breathless that you cannot speak. Have you had your cardiac rehabilitation yet? Both the low and high blood pressures are enough to call an ambulance and are worryingly low and high - no one should suffer that range of BP. If you are feeling well enough, get an emergency appointment with GP and lay it on the line. If no joy, ring 111 for advice.

I hear what your saying. I was just surprised it caught it. I checked it manually on wrist and got 180. Was only getting up to make cup of tea. Was just wanting a moan about time it takes for treatment. It's not a new thing. Iv even been barred from rehab for passing out so not overdoing it. Thanks for reply

Iv done that. It settles before they get here. It just spikes and drops. I was watching to and got up to make cup of tea and bang. Hence reveal device. Just wonder how long it takes to get an appointment. Thanks for replying

I hear what your saying. I did check it manually and got 180. Was just surprised that it had caught it. I was watching to and got up to make cup of tea so wasn't knocking it out. Wouldn't know where to start with that one lol thanks for replying
