Blood Pressure Issue

Imagine my surprise when I was having dinner with my wife at a restaurant on one Thursday in August and I passed out at the table. When I woke up about 90 seconds later I was greeted by the Emergency Response Team who wanted to take me to the emergency room. I was not in favor of this and instructed my wife to take me home. She wisely called Dr Duppstedt on his mobile phone number, which he answered promptly, and then he told me "You need to go to the emergency room now." After hearing his voice I felt better immediately knowing he would be involved in this and he endorsed me going to the hospital.

We are still trying to figure out what happened (we may never know for sure) and we are still modifying my blood pressure meds after seeing two specialists to get my blood pressure into normal ranges. we are doing this as a team and Dr D keeps me in the loop for everything.......

that night my Doctor, Edwin Duppstedt, made a huge difference to me.......funny thing, he may not even realize this :)
