Tests came back ok. His blood pressure was high and also some kidney ckd stage 2. Dehydrated too. They always say he is dehydrated but he is drinks plenty. The doctors suggested fluids go straight through him too. He has diffuse brain atrophy, seizures too. I got more from the discharge papers then I did out of the doctors. They told me they do not know why his head and chest hurt so bad. (Morphine did not help!) Home health suggested maybe his high blood pressure caused this. Anyway this is a new symptom.
Blood pressure always goes way up any time someone is at the doctor or in the ER.... it's the "white coat" effect.
As for head pain.... make a daily journal of what he is eating and the weather. Never know it could be a food allergy, and/or barometric pressure any time a storm is approaching. Antihistamines helps for air pressure, with doctor approval.
You stated stage 2 kidney diease and dehydration. What was his Albumin? Normal is 2.5-4.5, but normal healthy adult is 4.2! An ER doc will see 2.3 or 3.0 & say nothings wrong. At that level the blood is getting thick because fluids, along with K & other essential nutrients are flushing down the toilet.
Migraine medication will open blood vessels and jelp headaches more than narcotics. High BP aggrivates & causes mote dage to kidney. If he is not flushing out albumin, K, etc then high K can cause Angina or stop the heart.
I am a stage 2 kidney patient in remission. The medical problem cause stress, anxiety, depression. Often Thyroid & PTH issues missed ( high Calcium - PTH issue)
Remember ER docs look for things that are extreme. acute, and not a complex puzzel. A negative heart attack lab just means heart problem did not last long enough to kill heart muscle. ERs miss mild strokes and anurisms all the time.
Get you lab results- the details. Look up what each means online. Best sites include normal healthy level.
