I have a Blood Pressure cuff, once I get up I have all the intentions of doing it but after I take care of my husband's needs and breakfast I forget. I am planing to do that and write the numbers and then go to my Dr.
At times I felt my vision was not as it should be and last two eye checks they could not get the wright reading so I had to go back again. I was told having Cataracts started on the left eye. I understand another old age issue, but my primary care mentioned that according to my eye specialist not to decrease my Blood Pressure any lower.
Yes, we get wise as we age. I am not dwelling on this, all I am looking for someone to tell me what to do to keep my wit's a little longer. Thanks.

Hi @nsainato I’m sorry I missed this reply earlier!
Oh wow, does your story ever sound familiar. I’m supposed to be taking my BP routinely and get sidetracked by the slightest enticement! LOL Next thing I know the day has gone by and no BP check. I was taken off blood pressure pills a couple months ago and so far things are holding fairly steady…when I do remember to take a reading!
It’s good you have the cuff so you can keep track of your numbers, especially if you do have any more of those unsteady episodes. It would be interesting to know if your pressure drops during the events. Hopefully you won’t have another one!
From your comment about your eye specialist not decreasing your BP any lower, are you taking medication for blood pressure?
You also mentioned taking care of your husband. Is he having health challenges?
