@devineone My grandma used to get dialysis. A few times she had treatments they took too much fluid and she passout blood pressure dropped
I was there the one time with her. The guy who was doing her treatment. Well he had three patients he was attending too at once. Two borh passed out, blood pressure dropped. I watched him immediately start squeezing an iv drip. Trying to push fluids back in them. He said to me the machine wasnt working correctly and it over did the treatment.
Question could they be taking too much fluid at once or taking it out too fast? Something maybe to ask the Dr about?
I am also going to have Lisa @lisalucier move your message to another board too.
I wish you and your husvand the best.
Jackie
