My plan did made a good result regarding managing my issue about my blood pressure crashing. And so I went to tell my mother to buy me four sachets of energy drink which actually comes in a small sachet pack. It is a 4 grams pack which includes the 50 mg of caffeine per pack plus the nutrients that comes along with it.
Since I cannot eat this afternoon I decided to take the first pack and drink it with a half cup of water because I feel weak already and I have to use the toilet and I needed some energy to do it. But after I had used the toilet I managed to eat some sandwich and some of those milk of mine.
At dialysis time I drank a third of my energy drink after 30 minutes and after an hour I drank the other third. Then as my nurse took my BP reading it reads 180/80. So I am satisfied with it because the caffeine worked. Now i thought I will have much room to crash my BP.
After two hours in being hooked up at dialysis my BP went down to 130/80 so still I am okay and with a little bit of room to go down. At the third hour of my four hour session my BP went down to 120 so I am elated because the next time that the nurse will pass by is on the 4th hour after the needles had been taken out from my arm. After the third hour I decided then to eat.
Then after finishing my dialysis my BP reads 110/80 which is normal in US standards, Not in my center it wasn't so I was asked to rest for a while because my BP is still "low". I did rested for a while but I was held at the center for about an hour so I was kind of irritated about that because my place is quite uncomfortably hot and also I was worried about my parents because the night is getting deeper.
So what i had done was to just fan myself with my mother's fan and used my energy to stress myself a bit so that my BP would rise. I was able to raise my BP up to 120 and so they discharged me.
All in all I consumed 400 mg of caffeine and still it wasn't enough to put my BP in check and it seems that eating made my BP crash but I still have to experiment so I will readjust the next time on my dialysis God-willing.
I am impressed finally you did your experiment regarding you BP crash... and so happy for you it was working well. Let see if it work the same way on your next dialysis..., if it work... that would be amazing and perhaps it could become a new knowledge for medical world and worth to do a future experiment for the researchers. Well done @cryptopie. As a nurse.. I am so proud of you.
Grande hijo. Dio buenos resultados la estrategia.
Te felicito y como amigo tuyo estoy satisfecho.
Bonito el thermo.
Cuídate por favor.

Ya you did well to your bo crash. But be care of yourself because life is so precious.

For what I see is that if you bought the thermos that you said you were going to buy to be able to drink coffee at the time you are in the dialysis. that good.
From what I could read about your publication, everything worked out for you at least, you had to consume 400 mg of caffeine and you still needed more, oh god!
