Hi Susan,
Thanks for your quick reply. Today I got up very slowly and stood up and waited a few more seconds and I walked slowly out of the bedroom with no problem. I will certainly watch it for a few days, but I may ask my nurse friend to take my blood pressure just to be safe. My Nephrologist recommended stopping my small dose of Hydrochlorothiazide which I take re my blood pressure. He asked if my legs tend to swell and I told him that they didn't. I see him Dec. 15th but if it happens again will definitely call my GP. It's great being 75 with all these appts. and copays. Oh well, I'll be very careful. Thanks again Susan. : )

Do you have a cane or walker nearby? Maybe wear a call button. Just in case.

Merry Christmas!
