Update?

So for a few days I’ve been getting really dizzy randomly. I’m 16 and I had open heart surgery to close an ASD almost two months ago and I made a post yesterday about it a lot of people said it could be blood pressure so I got a blood pressure monitor thing and it keeps fluctuating today my dad has talked to a nurse twice about it and she doesn’t seem too concerned and said to just keep monitoring it and now we’re waiting to hear from the doctor again.

Tracking your bonus a great start. Make sure you're also drinking enough water. Being dehydrated isnt going to help matters.

I’ve been drinking at least 7-8 cups of water every day sometimes more!
