Dear Diary: I Will Going To Maintain My Energy Drink During My Dialysis As It Helps Me Maintain Something Important

Yesterday I had a successful dialysis because I was able to finish my dialysis session without my blood pressure crashing so much and it just swinged from dangerous 180/90 which caused me which I thought was a vertigo because of dizziness to a very relaxing 120/90 to 140/90 which is high for some but still "normal" (they say) for patients like me.

I also lament the fact that my blood pressure goes so high, it may mean some ominous thing for me that I even do not want to think about. But still I am trying to discover ways to make myself and my dialysis times better. And one way is to really combat blood pressure crashes because it hinders me from achieving a good and efficient dialysis because they would adjust the settings that would mean my eventual discomfort one way and another.

So I discovered one way to make my blood pressure not to crash by drinking energy drink that is similar to Red Bull. It is because it has some caffeine that momentarily raises blood pressure during my session. But caffeine in the Red Bull is also cleaned out by dialysis so as my blood pressure rises, the dialysis tries to clean it back down so my blood pressure won't go completely up or down.

So by the time my dialysis ends my blood pressure is normal again plus I get to enjoy the vitamin and extra nutrients and the happiness that the energy drink gave me. It is now almost all well and good and I will maintain that way everytime I go for dialysis.

I m so glad to hear this you successful your dialysis. I hope you breathe easily my friend and have no more issues. That has to be one of the worst feelings...good take care of urself dear 😊

Congratulation on your successful dialysis. Just be prayerful and keep having hope that your health issue will be back to normal

I find the only real long term solution for me and blood pressure drops during dialysis is to be consistent at restricting my fluid. I might try that energy drink trick if I want to get a little extra off one day. :)

Hi @lizzyib
Yes I was desperate because I can't find any other way to tackle that BP problem. I can sleep after dialysis so it means that the caffeine was cleaned out.

I think your blood pressure increased due to excessive tension. After all, I was happy to hear that your dialysis was done properly.This type of vitamins and energy drinks will help keep your dialysis right after next times. .
Take care dear @cryptopie

What energy are you drinking? Just be careful lng talaga po!

It's OK, the dialysis cleans out what is in the energy drink (Lipovitan in small bottle) I just use it now for y blood pressure issue.

Okay if it's going to benefit you that's okay! ^^ My friend usually goes on a date with me to eat after her dialysis. Is it better to eat more before dialysis or after?

Eating during dialysis sometimes makes me full already after dialysis so I can't eat anymore. But it depends on the patient.
I just eat during dialysis because it makes me hungry when the machine starts to clean my blood.

Ah maybe that's why. Thanks friend! Now I got a bit of an idea.

Nice one..
Its good to hear.

Really?Lipovitan helps on your blood pressure issues?
So now i know..
Will try to apply it for my brother in law..
Thanks forr this info..
And nice to hear from you that you are getting better even in a little way..

It is now almost all well and good and I will maintain that way everytime I go for dialysis.
