Hi all,
After the test the doc tried to tell me but was still grogy so he told my sister that i had a lipoma and internal hemorriods, but what worried him the worse and he had to wait an hour till meds brought my blood pressure up was my blood pressure when first took was 60/40 and it took an hour just to get it to 81 over 42. no wonder i feel tired all the time haha. i have to go back next week and he wants to discuss something i dont know what.
the lipoma is big i seen it on the screen during test i watched him biopsy it was interesting but painful.it was benine thank god .Was scared to death it was going to be cancer.
god bless all and tc

Hi angel:
Were you dehydrated? Did you drink gatorade or other electrolyte solution after your prep? Dehydration could bring down your BP like that. Are you naturally low? The other thing that could lower you like that is bleeding, but obviously you didn't have that at the time of your colonoscopy. Sounds like you are a natural hypotensive and the combo of the prep and drugs during the procedure lowered you further. Thank God for monitors!

Glad to hear everything checked out.

I wasn't dehydrated he checked me for that i have always had low blood pressure but the last time it got that low is when i went into neutropenia stage .thanks so much for responding, i drank alot of diet dews to hec with gatorade i did drink alot of water also.

Angel:
Were the gastro and anes aware of your Shilling's and neutropenia to begin with? If not, I can imagine that he/she would be surprised by your hypotension! Diet Dews probably don't have the lytes that gatorade or another sports drink would, but I guess the fluid is better than nothing and I guess the caffeine could have acted as a pressor, but also to dehydrate you more and make you more unstable... Most people aren't aware what those preps can do to dehydrate you!

Like I said though, At least you got checked out though and are good for another couple years since you were clear if you don't have the family history.

I say this because I don't want OTHERs considering the procedure to be scared away thinking their pressure will drop out during the procedure.
