My husband had a stroke 7 months ago. He suffers from kidney failure. The hospital won't discharge him bc his BP drops during dialysis and needs meds to keep up the BP. Any advice on what to do?

Blood Pressure drops during Dialysis when it draws off too much fluid too quickly...My PD Nurses tell me if that happens to drink some Dill Pickle Juice...not sure what his restrictions are...but you might ask Doctor
