I went to the ER last night
My nose was severely bleeding over a 7 hour period and I was choking on the blood and had trouble breathing
In the ER I almost fainted they had to lift me up and put me on the bed
I was convinced my blood pressure was high
and it was kinda high, 150/83
but they said that’s not too high and also the dr said the blood pressure might be caused by the nose bleed instead of the other way around
I think it was the food I was eating was full of sodium which raised my blood pressure, but I dunno
the doctor seemed to think the cause of the nose bleed was the weather change or an allergy
But I don’t know about that because it was kinda odd, I took some headache medicine (acetaminophen , caffeine, aspirin) and Benadryl
then I ate a microwave meal (full of sodium)
my nose started bleeding 5 minutes after I ate the microwave meal
it bled for a long time, like 20 minutes then it finally stopped
so then 2-3 hours later I was hungry again so I ate another microwave meal
then 5 minutes later my nose started bleeding again
this time it never stopped which is when I drove to the hospital
the hospital room looked like a war scene when I was in there because of all the blood all over the floor and counter and rags full of blood, my nose would not stop bleeding and I was choking, my entire shirt is covered in blood, my face was covered in blood
so that’s when the doctor packed my nose, I sat for about 10 minutes after he packed it and my nose stopped bleeding
he said I need to keep the packing for 2 days
he said if it doesn’t stop bleeding I might need to go to a Ear Nose and Throat specialist and get it cauterized
So I went home with my nose packed
Oh by the way I had to pay $50 at the hospital, ugh
So on my way home I decided to refeed today and eat way over my calories which hopefully would restart my metabolism and I could start losing weight again
it’s worked before
so I stopped at wal-Mart and bought a pumpkin pie, banana pudding, white cake, and 3 oatmeal cookies.
I’m also about to order a pizza. I want my calories to be around 5000 for the day, after eating all that its around 3400, the pizza will push it over
I really wasn’t in the mood for this refeed cause I’ve been so focused on my diet
Also I’m going to start a little bit of exercise, I’m going to walk 30 minutes a day
I don’t have any exercise clothes so I ordered a couple of active wear suits from rainbow shops, 2 shirts and 2 pants for $50
I am really shocked I hit a plateau this early in my weight loss
I don’t understand how I could reach a plateau eating 1600 calories a day, it doesn’t make sense to me, but hopefully the refeed and walking helps
