Hey there @NatureLover @Lee71,
I can see you're both keen on supporting each other today but I can see this conversation is potentially creating some stress so I want to encourage you both to take a short break from this thread🙂
@Lee71 I encourage you to ring a service like Nurse-On-Call (depending where you are in Australia) for some medical advice if you need. Good to know you are aware to ring an ambulance if it escalates.
Take care,
Sphinxly

Thanks @Lee71 💓
I will be okay. BP back up to acceptable level of 96/58 and heart rate now down to118. Much better. I think I must have a weird metabolism?
Have I somehow managed to cause trouble here today?@Lee71 @NatureLover @Former-Member
I seem to cause trouble where ever I go. I really am sorry.
