I felt bad in the late afternoon. Dizzy with cold clammy skin and sweating profusely. I measured my BP and found it high at 170/100. Heart rate at 66. This is the first time I measured myself in this condition. I suffered this condition before since I was young. I did not realised it is due to high blood pressure with low heart rate. Usually, I recovered a few hours later. Now I am feeling much better now. I went to the clinic in Seletar Mall. Raffles Medical closed at 5:30pm. There were still people waiting to see the doctor. It must be busy as it was close to 6:30pm when I reached. So I have to go the Healthline in Basement 1.
The doctor was shocked by my cold hand. He measured my blood pressure and it was still high at 170/110. He recommended ECG but I refused as I do not have breathing difficulty the clearest indicator of Heart Attack. However, a diabetic will not be able to feel chest pains or breathing difficulty. So the ECG is required to be sure.
Now I am feeling normal i.e. cold clammy condition is gone but still tired and head heavy. I am glad this episode is over. It is scary to get into a bad condition.
