lieze Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I seem so vulnerable to any lack of sleep and just seem unable to function today. (When I get up I just feel my blood pressure drop in the way of weakness. I have taken it twice and sitting down I'm right around 100/73 and 99/56 and 100/55 not bad for me)I worked last night 3-11 so I was up late, then of course we have our 6 am bus routine here. I did not get up right away but was awake I guess since about 5? Oh that's awful.No wonder I feel so bad. But anyway do you notice this hits you too?I'm 3 shades of pale. If I try to lay down to rest I feel too awake.If I get up I feel too tired to function. Slightly irritable from lack of sleep.How do you cope?Also won't try it today but what about caffeine?I was warned against it with my tachycardia but I did read it can help stabilize blood pressure.I tried just a very little at work last night and it helped my alertness I had felt really zoned out before I drank it and was attempting with caution to self medicate.

potsgirl Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I can't get through the morning without my cup of coffee. I just have one, every morning, and at least it helps me become more coherent for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw4790 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I tend to tolerate caffeine fine, and use it in small doses to keep me going. Larger doses tend to make me more sleepy than hyper... So, I do not necessarily have a typical response to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fc3schick87 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 i cant do caffeine what so ever, i get dizzy with a blood pressure crash and stomach cramps to high heaven. soda i do ok with but not coffee!i usually wake up about 10-11 and go to bed about 1am or so. i work usually 5-10 and about 3 or 4pm i start getting so tired, usually right after i eat lunch.i usually lay down to nap or just relax and it seemingly helps me get threw my shift at work. 30 min of napping usually just makes the issue worse. i have to nap for 1-2 hours for it to take effect...i still dont have an answer for the tiredness, im still seeking that answer myself.
