Sticky Thursday

Ugh today is miserable out; not exceedingly hot but muggy as all get out.
I took the dogs out for a walk this morning, and by the time I got home my heart was pounding and I couldn't breathe. (From heat intolerance I have no doubt.)
So, at the moment, I'm hiding out in the a/c...which is fine because I've been sick all morning.

Amount of sleep: nowhere near enough. Maybe five hours? Horrible nightmares though. Waking up screaming and crying does not make for a good night's sleep :(

BP a.m.:
standing: 75/41 HR: 129
laying down: 78/55 HR 51 arrhythmia

Diet:
- Breakfast: Ensure
- Snack 1: pretzels, 4 cups water
- Snack 2: rice cakes, 2 cups dr. pepper, 3 cups water
Just horrible today. I really need to get past the stress and work harder at this.

Exercise/activities:
- took each of the dogs for a walk

P.O.T.S. symptoms experienced:
so far: nausea, cold extremities, stomach upset (lower), heart pounding, migraine, sweats, visual disturbances, extreme heat intolerance, fatigue, insomnia, mood swings, difficulty breathing.

Misc: I'm having that pain in my side again from my surgery. :(

More Misc:
Here are a smattering of my recent BPs. I was dumb and didn't put them in my blog as soon as I recorded them, and I didn't write down the dates I took them...so I'm not entirely sure what days they go with. (Like I said: dumb.) But they are important to know so here they are:

84/64 HR: 82 arrhythmia
81/57 HR: 52
84/50 HR: 105
100/68 HR: 57
94/91 HR: 61

104/61 HR: 76 arrhythmia
84/41 HR: 57 arr.
93/53 HR: 73
72/48 HR: 123
83/58 HR: 142

82/34 HR: 49
80/34 HR:47
99/67 HR: 76
77/40 HR:51

When they're all listed like that, it gives a pretty clear picture of what my body goes through every day. Heart rates ranging from 47 to three times that? Holy crap. No wonder I feel so awful.
