I should eat something while hooked-up at dialysis now with the aim to avoid the troublesome hypotension
Two consecutive times that my blood pressure dropped already and it triggered the resident doctor inside the treatment area to tell my nephrologist that something must be adjusted again for me to avoid such drop in my blood pressure. The resident doctor might suggest to either lessen the amount of fluids to be removed although he said that it is already not that high, in-fact what I told me nurses was to take off about two and a half Kilos and it would result in about 700-800 mL of extra fluid from where I was targeting it before and yet I still experienced lightheadedness resulting in my request to terminate the treatment session.
The resident doctor also might suggest that my dry weight must be adjusted if not the amount of fluid to be removed and I told the doctor that I might have to re-adjust my dry weight because I already noticed that I had gained weight. So I think that is the best way now because I am really trying to add some mass into my body because I need muscles plus fat as I both lack of them in my body because I needed to be strong and that will not happen if I have not much mass like muscles.
It is a real problem about eating because if I will eat more, it will elevate substances in my body like phosphorus and calcium, salt, not to mention fluids which I really needed to control as it would cause troubles if I will gain fluids which cannot be taken out because I have a strict limit in the clinic because otherwise these backlogs will add-up again and again and will result in breathing issues and I do not want it to happen.
Even if it is hot and humid every single day, I still have an issue about perspiring extra fluids because more often it is not that hot to cause me to perspire that much. That is why I still have to maintain if not be more strict about my fluid consumption. I wish that I have a Sauna bath facility here in my house but since I do not want to make my mother clean-up after wearing my Sauna suit, I seldom use it now because for one thing it is really uncomfortable to wear it plus I have to wear it in an extended time just for me to shed some considerable amount of fluids via my sweat glands. More often I have to force myself to get overboard in using the Sauna suit too much that I already would feel the signs of heat stroke.
Anyway, it seems that I needed to return to eating some food while hooked-up at dialysis. In the former years I was doing it because my mother was always there to assist me. but after the pandemic, the hospital got more restricted and didn't allowed the family member or relatives or guardians of the patient to feed the patients. So now most patients do not eat anymore although some really eat inside. But before, even if I would eat I would still experience lightheadedness although there are factors there that cause sit like my former use of Gabapentin coupled with experiencing acidosis which after more than two decades I resolved by eliminating the cause.
I already said that I will eat inside while having my treatment but I was not able to because I am always trying to complete the session so that I can build some appetite so that after my treatment I will be able to enjoy my meal. But now I am just experiencing IDH or hypotension while hooked-up so I needed to prevent it by just eating and consuming some liquids regardless of not totally achieving my fluid removal request.
