#right now? my resting pulse is ~120 and it spikes to 140 or higher (I tried to count it one time but it was actually too fast)

Scratch what I said before about being fine, this fucking sucks.
Guess which idiot took their morning-only med (a stimulant) at night?
This one!
#so the side effect when you combine the two would normally be easily manageable#but when I tried to throw up the pill I also became dehydrated#I did drink some water but completely forgot that I had also lost electrolytes#and also the daytime med combined with the optional sleep med is making me feel like#I must do things I have the ability to do things do all the things but my body is so physically tired that my limbs feel like lead weights#it’s basically torture#so you take that and then add in how I react when I’m severely dehydrated-#resting pulse goes up overall and when I stand my pulse skyrockets and I end up dizzy lightheaded and about to collapse#and the side effect of the combined pills? making irregular heartbeats worse (or normal ones faster)?#it essentially took how my cardiac system responds to dehydration and made it an extreme#usually if I’m dehydrated when my pulse spikes it goes up to around 120-130. resting pulse of around 90-100#right now? my resting pulse is ~120 and it spikes to 140 or higher (I tried to count it one time but it was actually too fast)#all that combines into me not being able to walk five feet without having to sit down for at least a minute or two#both because if I don’t I might collapse and also because just walking five feet takes so much energy that I get so exhausted I feel like#I could fall asleep on the spot and I need to get energy back before I am physically able to stand up again#I can’t fall asleep on the spot because of the morning med though#I tried to go to my parents for help and made it down the hallway and halfway through the dining room#(having to sit down three separate times)#before giving up because there was no way I was getting up the stairs#and then I actually thought about it and realized it was a horrible idea because my dad told me not to take the optional sleep med#because of the dangers of mixing meds and unknown side effects#and he might help me but I would also get a lecture that I could really do without#especially when this isn’t caused by the med interaction! that might have made things worse but this is pretty much just dehydration#and I don’t have the energy to deal with that right now#so I asked my sister to get me a glass of juice because it’s got vitamin C and electrolytes and liquid#and she wouldn’t lecture me. she complains about me a lot but she can tell when something is serious and she’ll be fine then#the juice is helping. I’m hydrated enough to have a dehydration headache again which is a good sign
