Dad's therapy went good this morning. However after sitting for a while his blood pressure started to drop, and kept dropping. It got down to something like 80 over 60. They put dad back to bed and will watch his blood pressure and left a message for the doctor. The facility doctor is there on Monday's and Wednesday's. From what I was told via dad's nurse is that the doctor thinks dad is on too much blood pressure medicine and that is what is causing his pressure to drop like it does.
Dad, I, and dad's regular doctor have thought that he was on too many medicine's for blood pressure. Everyone is reluctant to try many changes so maybe this doctor will. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm not sure. I will have to keep on top of everything and make sure they take his blood pressure often if they start discontinuing medicines.
Dad does seem to be in a good mood again today. Yay.
