This isn't a call I went on, he said that he was feeling funny. Took his BP and it was 161/115 with a pulse of 110, 22 rpm. He wasn't diaphoretic and wasn't c/o of chest pains. But what struck me funny was that he said he was having bouts of full body numbness, even his scalp. I had him sit down and we talked a little bit about non-sickness related topics and I checked his BP again after about 10 min and it came down to 157/97, same pulse, and only 18-20 rpm. Since I wasn't near my department I couldn't request a truck, so I called his mother and father and told them that they need to take him to the ER.
A little PMHX from this person. I'm not sure if he still does, but he use to snort cocaine a lot in the past, and use to and still does pills.
He said that he only took 2 perc 512's today for his torn muscle that he recently got...yeah, I know, torn muscle my a**.
I'm wondering what others think about this one. My guess would be HTN with maybe a little neuropathy? I'm hoping not, but maybe TIA's?
