Low Blood Pressure?!??

This must be the yr I puked the most.

3 times OH-LEH-LI leh!!

Despite being so guai to sleep at 12.30, I woke up to a spinning room. Rummage ard for panadols to stop the spins but it aint very effective. Was comtemplating to see doctor in the bath. Wanna puke cannot puke. The spins came everytime I wash my hair, aka lower my head. I thought I had vertigo (ear water imbalance). Crawled outta bath, changed into work clothes, complained to mum. Already in my socks when I finally gave in to my body, raises white flag, crawls back into bed and msg my work ppl.

In the midst of msging, I puked. All the sugarcane from yest. So I thot it was indigestion, very common to me these days. Either dat or food poisoning, since I dun have a sweet tooth for sugarcanes n they had this report abt the unhygienic conditions where they store the canes.

Struggled to the doctor's, in giddy and ready to puke anytime mode. Registered, walked in to an old ah peh doctor. Somehow I find that being a doctor is like being a detective, or something like dat. They ask u something, depending on ur answer, they decide.

Doc: So wats ur problem??
Me: Giddy..
Doc: Giddy only?
Me: Erm.. puked also.
Doc: R u having ur period? (Anaemic)
Me: No..
Doc: Wat did u eat last night? (Food Poisoning/Allergy/Indigestion)
Me: Sugarcane drink only
Doc: Do u have this often?
Me: Nope. This morning only.
Doc listens to my pulse. I got a feeling I've stepped into a Cheena sinseh clinic.
Doc checks my blood pressure n listens to my heartbeat. (high/low blood pressure)
Doc: Is ur blood pressure normally this low??
Me: Arh.. I dunno leh.. The docs nvr mention anything abt my blood pressure b4.
Doc writes 100/60 on my medical card, I noticed 36.1 deg on it oso. It was taken b4 I go into the doc's room.
Doc checks my ears. (Vertigo)
Doc: Your giddyness is caused by ur low blood pressure. Bcos our blood pressure will be low when we are sleeping. So when we get up too fast, the blood pressure doesnt rise to our heads, thus the giddyness. So if next time u feel giddy when u wake up, sit down for a while until the giddyness goes away.
Me: So my puking is caused by that?
Doc: Ya. I give u one day MC <- yay~
Me: Thanks.

I'm not normal! I have low blood pressure, low temperature. -.-" The doc only gimme one medicine to take. When ppl worry abt high blood pressure.. Mine's too low! 2nd MC in 1 mth already.

The giddyness seems to be coming back again.. Arhh...
