Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was admitted to the hospital overnight for severe dehydration from my blood pressure pills. I collapsed at work and was taken by ambulance. They did numerous tests and I have followed up with my physician. She took me off the medication. While I am told everything is well, I still feel glittery and nervous although she assures me it won t happen again. I can t shake my uncertainty and am anxious about returning to work with my energy level low. I haven t had an appetite for days although she says that will also return. How long before I feel well again. I had no idea I was so ill.

Hi! you have to be more conscious about health; dehydration is easily preventable!
How does it take place? Well, there are two components in our body/body fluids including blood: solid and liquid (most of it contains water/salt solution!).
Whenever this fluid portion is reduced in our body, it is dehydration and causes fall in BP, weakness, irritability, loss of appetite, etc...And this happens in cases of severe sweating, vomiting, loose stool, high urine output, hormonal problems, brain tumors etc...
Therefore you need lots of tests if your dehydration is recurrent and plan a unique lifestyle with your physician accordingly.
