Woke up very early this morning - felt like heart rate was pounding. Checked BP and it was 176/117 at 6:36 AM. Took my BP meds and an asprin it was 130/99 at 7:15 AM. Having some congestion, I took an antihistamine (Lotrel) and used a nasal rinse with my netti pot. Also stomach felt very tight as if I had a gas problem. Took some Gas-Ex for that. Also had a good bowel movement, but it was unusually odorous (please excuse my candor about this, but I thought it possibly significant). Felt very weak. Ate breakfast. No nausea at anytime. Took a nap in my recliner for about 1 1/2 hrs. BP at 1:25 PM CST was 139/73. Feel pretty good now, but still a bit weak. Can take a deep breath, but only with effort. No cold sweats, no pain in left arm at anytime. I do have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine. Had some congestion for the last several nights, but not too bad. Have not slept well for several nights. I have restricted sinus passages and had surgery for this about 20 years ago. Need it again, but have no medical insurance, so cannot afford it. I'm wondering if I might be coming down with bronchitis? I have a good supply of various anti-biotics available, but I am reluctant to take them unless pretty sure I actually need them. What are your thoughts as to my condition? Going to a doctor is not an option as I cannot afford it, I am sorry to say. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 60 years old. Male, Caucasian. 5'11" 285 lbs. THANKS!
