I don't feel good.

Seriously.

Being a man, my solution to this is to unlock my front door in case I have to call 911.

This seems reasonable to me.

Plus, it's the manly thing to do.

Heart and blood pressure problems, they are having trouble with BP regulation. It's strange...I'm strong as an ox, can shovel heavy snow for 3 hours, walk 6 miles without barely breathing hard, but I can't get out of bed without getting dizzy and falling down. I'll be ok, this is nothing new, I know when to go to the ER, and I see the doc Friday. Thanks again!

They take your blood pressure while you’re lying down. Then have you sit for three minutes then take it again. Then have you stand for three minutes and take it again.
My husband went through that.

Did he just feel "off" also? Like messed up? Symptoms that he could not explain to someone?

If you can monitor and log your blood pressure for a few weeks, it might assist the doc's in figuring out the issue. Have you had a stress test? Echo? Do you know what your a1c is? Sorry for all the personal questions. You don't have to respond if you don't want. Or you can DM.
