@TAB BP issues are frustrating. I hope seeing the cardio helps, their long waitlists can be frustrating. I don't know if I should see one, just been doing what I can at home, ensuring I have enough water, salt, electrolytes and wear compression leggings. I have both high and low BP running in my family

That was at the very beginning of sane wasn't it @Emelia8  I do remember you. Greetings. 

Today there's a huge group of better more diverse like @PinkFlamingo ....

Who helps me understand things like triggering from her stories.

yeah, I have had AF for years , never when they checked for it though @creative_writer  yes sometimes my BP is low now after going onto meds.

silly system re cardio, they were booked out for the year so said for me to ring on 2 jan say and make an appt. so, rang, no answer, on hols guess, forgot, rang few days later and appts were already out to start of May.. I keep getting months mixed up, last couple really dragged . I should have said I would got to Adelaide to see someone. most of the wait due to appt being at regional centre I think

@TAB I have had spikes in heart rate upon standing, I think it's just part of having POTS for me.

I would imagine there would be longer wait for regional centres. I just do hope you are able to get some answers during the appointment, struggling with physical health issues really does take a toil on one's life

[TAB]

its just going to lead to more tests and more appts is my gut feeling, but yes else end up lights out face down somewhere, so have to go along with it @creative_writer  off to shops now

[creative_writer]

@TAB I wish you the best. Even if it does lead to more tests, hopefully you’ll get some answers too. I hope the day goes smoothly for you 💖

@TAB you were right about my bill. Its a $50 service charge to my property. Gas usage was $7 over 3 months. So I'm paying through the nose just to have gas connected

Heres my latest gas bill, it virtually doesn't even register on the bill as the amount is so low

[TAB]
