I Didn't Eat Again At My Dialysis And My Blood Pressure Didn't Even Drop Today

Today I just experimented to check again or verify if I would not eat to see if my blood pressure won't go down. It actually didn't and I even haven't felt any telltale signs of a lowered blood pressure like cold sweats and pain in my neck part. Pretty weird but I continued to take my Caffeine capsules and energy drink. I also consumed about four pieces of hard candy every hour so that my blood sugar won't go down.

During dialysis blood sugars and protein compounds along with the toxins and some minerals are washed off so it is better to make the blood sugar supported so that the patient won't get his blood sugar level go down and what I did is just to take candies during the session.

I really thought that I would suffer another bout of a blood pressure crash because I didn't eat anything except the candies. My mother had made me brought along a sandwich but I didn't eat it because of my experiment which is a success because I can just forgo with eating foods that I do not like at dialysis and be contented with some candies while I am waiting for the convenience store to open up again hopefully soon after all the quarantine measures are over.

Now I know that I can just consume candies and it is just enough for my BP not to crash anymore provided maybe I will have to use Caffeine because I still needed its BP-raising effects. Next time I will not eat anymore since the food that I want to eat is not available yet, I will just do what I had done today since it worked for me.
