I'm a 39 year old female who suffered from high blood pressure sleep apnea and all of a sudden around two or three weeks ago my heart rate barely gets past 70 and my blood pressure gets in the double digits top and bottom my appetite has went from eating down the house to eating maybe twice a day very weak and faint can't walk to toilet without feeling faint I'm very pale and I felt as though I ripped something mid abdomen area having severe headache and nausea. Seen several Dr been to ER several times bones are hurting and burning I feel feverish all the time I run a low grade fever every day and night. I feel like I'm dying and everyone says my stats are fine. No one is listening and they're just letting me die right in front of them. I am miserable. Someone please help me if you know something please tell me what to do. I'll try just about anything to feel better like I did.

@darthvader How frustrating not to find an answer. You said "...everyone says my stats are fine..." In the emergency room, they do what is called "triage" - is there something immediate and life-threatening that can be treated? They treat. If the answer is "No" you are generally given instructions to "follow up with your primary provider."
Since your last ER visit, have you had a complete physical from your primary provider, including blood tests - red & white Blood counts, hemoglobin, thyroid function, A1C, sodium, potassium and Vitamin B levels are a few things that can cause multiple symptoms. Has your urine been checked? An untreated urinary tract infection (UTI) can cause many of the symptoms you describe.
Also, you need to tell your doctor EVERYTHING you are taking as far as medications - prescription, over the counter, vitamins, herbs, supplements, essential oils. Be honest about using CBD, THC, any kind of smokes or vapes, any kind of alcohol, energy drinks... All of these can have adverse effects on some people, and even if OK in the past, your body can change how they are tolerated. In addition, many seemingly innocent supplements can interact with medications or one another.
When is your next appointment for unraveling your health issues?

@darthvader are you drinking enough water? Did you mention to the triage nurse that you have been running a low grade temperature 24/7? I hope they took your temperature and did some bloodwork in ER.
Some people have naturally low blood pressure but in your case your low blood pressure could be causing all your symptoms but unless you voice your concern about your low blood pressure they are likely to assume it is your normal. I have normally low blood pressure.
