Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @stephendsessomssr. That must have been frightening to wake up with the room spinning and find you couldn’t keep your balance. I’m glad your wife recognized something wasn’t right and that you went to the emergency room.
It sounds like your PCP helped you put several pieces together—working outside and sweating, the MiraLAX, and the diuretic you take for your blood pressure. With CKD in the mix too, I imagine figuring out the right balance with fluids is especially important.
You mentioned you’re slowly getting back to normal. What symptoms are you still noticing now? Did your PCP give you any guidance about how much or what you should be drinking going forward?
