I am 87 years old and a patient of high BP for many years.
A month back.when I got up at 6 am, near my bathroom, I suddenly fell down due to a momentary fainting. My daughter took my BP. It was very low. She called for an ambulance and got me admitted in a hospitaL. I was positive and was treated as a covid-19 patient. I was discharged after 3 days. For the lastr one month I have been resting home and gradually recovering. I have been advised for resting fora a month more.
I have also been suffering from grout for about 15 years. I have been taking regulare medicines. Lab test result shows that my uric acid level is normal (5.2 mg/dl). I do not suffer from excessive bouts of pains or flare.
I walk a lot and massage gout regularly. The gout has affected both the toes. There is sweiing at the gout and the swelling keeps on changing its location periodically either on the top or at the bottom of the toes.
Since the occurring of grout, on an average, every year. I become dizzy momentarily and suffer a fall from which I used to recover and go ahead with my activity. Last month the fall was sever because I dashed against a wall which hurt mu shoulders, ribs and neck and sprained my muscles.
The fall always occured while I was standing but never while I was lying down or in a siiting position.
I wonderif my fall was as a result of Covid-19 infection or due to swelling of the.
