My dad called me this morning saying his BP was "149 over 100...Is that bad? I also have pain in my left arm and have had pain in my back all weekend". Uh .YES please get in to be checked out.
He has a history of blood-clot disorder (he's on blood-thinners permanently because it clots easily).
My sister (who's an EMT) just called and was with him. He's in the ER right now being checked out and waiting for a CAT scan. They said it looked like he was throwing PVCs and his BP was up to 190+/ I forget the other number...but it was higher. My sister said that he's likely NOT had a heart attack- YET, but all the symptoms are pointing towards it.
Please pray for my mom and dad. They are a wreck and obviously scared. He's only 59. I'm 3 states away, so a little prayer for my sanity wouldn't hurt! Thankfully my sister is there, and she's a SPITFIRE plus educated in this area (all-but a Paramedic, and her BF is a paramedic too).
