FALLS FATIGUE AND WEAKNESS

I have had high BP for many years which was well controlled until August

2020. My dosage of Lisinopril was then increased from 20mg to 40 mg

and the water tablet Benodriazide stopped.

On 31st August 2020 I collapsed and was in hospital for 3 nights. The

cause they concluded was a sudden drop in BP when I stood up

Since August 2020 I have had three further falls and despite changes in my blood pressure medicines my condition has worsened..

I have difficulty standing up.

I feel unstable sometimes when standing up.

I have no physical strength.

I find difficult to even dress myself.

I am fatigued all the time.

If I am on the floor I am unable to get up unaided.

I have not gained weight but my waist is bigger and

my stomach feels hard.

I am now awaiting hospital appointments with the Neurology and

Cardiology Teams.

Because of Covid there are long delays in obtaining appointments.

Researching the internet is very confusing.

The GPS have referred me to Cardiology and Neurology because they do not know

what my condition is ??

Could it be MS

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

Steve
