Hypotension




It is hot and sunny and I’m having a very lazy day.  I’ve been stretched out on my lounger in the shade swatting flies and reading Stephen King.  Nothing like a bit of horror to stop me from dozing off.  I’ve finally come indoors to cool off and get away from the sparrows endless chatter.

Paul is also having a quiet day.  Yesterday he felt quite unwell during our bicycle ride which he put down to low blood sugar. (At least I managed to keep up with him for a change.)  He has also been feeling tired for the past couple of days so I told him to check his blood pressure.  He has to take tablets daily for high blood pressure, these normally keep his readings at a healthy 120/70.  Yesterday his reading was 90/55.  No wonder he’s been feeling tired and dizzy!

This is what I call the French Living effect.  Quite often we have to halve his dose during the summer (the tablets conveniently break in two); I can only put it down to the exercise and healthy living out here.  Conversely I suffer from chronic low blood pressure.  It really isn’t the wine that makes me tired and dizzy all the time, honest.
