A bit over the top
I got a call from my mum the other day asking if I had heard about my brother?. No. He collapsed and cracked his head open. So I ring him. Yes he did pass out for a couple of seconds a got a very small head wound that hardly even bled.Not quite the scenario I first imagined. But a warning to all-he is very lax about his health and seldom has his BP checked-he was on meds for high blood pressure but he passed out due to low BP.

I doubt it. Two heart attacks and major surgery.The evil one spawned two sons of the Devil-which of us is the most depressed?

Could it be that the HBP medication reduced blood pressure too much?

Re: A bit over the top
I 'threw a wobbly' whilst visiting someone else in a hospital a few years ago.Best place to do it, I suppose.
Just got all dizzy and fell in a heap.
Was on High BP meds at the time which were controlling my BP very well indeed .... 120/80 like a teenager.
Without first checking, staff plied me with more BP meds which, combined with the stuff I was already on, plunged my BP to a quite dangerous LOW !
Mistakes happen and all was well in a few hours but for a while there they were freaking out.
Things could have gone badly.
Having finished keying, I just realized "what a boring bloody story". Sorry.
