My Eye
I just can't seem to get things right when it comes to my health. I took 2/500mg antihistamines last Sat. when I had a head full of sinus. I was in a hurry to get ready for work at my part time job. I grabbed 2 pills out of the bottle and took them in hopes of being better once I drove in to work. During the drive my BP shot up and I popped a blood vessel in my right eye. Talking about the fear of God! When I got to work, I casually looked in a mirror to see if I was looking decent. That's when I saw the blood under the membrane in my right eye. Realizing that I felt a bit unsteady and woozy, I went and sat down for a few minutes. Still feeling that way an hour later, I took off work and went to the ER at a local hospital. They reminded my of my age and how the vessels get thinner with age. Certain meds were recommended and I was released. Well, I purchased these meds and they are not doing a real good job of handling my allergies. I still catch myself with sneezing, headaches and runny nose. So, I guess that since the eye is involved, I will need to have my BP checked and possibly get on meds for that? I still feel unsteady and that's not a good feeling. I also feel my pulse beating much harder that it once did, which I'm sure will be because of age. Damn it! Getting old sucks, but it's better than the alternative. :(
