My mother recently died, She was taken to
the ER and the blood pressure machine was
indicating that her pressure was high and
then it drop all the sudden very low? The
ER staff started loading her up with
dopeamean(not sure if it is spelled this
way). My father kept asking them to take
a manual reading and after 15 minutes or
so they took 3 manual readings which
indicated that her blood pressure was
normal, but they kept giving her large
dosages of dopeamean to rise her pressure.
shortly after that she went into a comma
type state and 5 days later all her organs
shut down( all this time they are still
giving her the dopeamean) and she pass
away of heart failure. She had previously
had a stroke(6-7 years earlier) and 3
months before this happened she suffered a
major heart attack, but she made her way
back and was sent home in good shape
before she was sent to the ER complaining
of a pain in her stomach. My question is
could the med's that they were giving her
for the blood pressure have caused her
death?

Hello,
Sorry to hear about your mother....I just
can't imagine how you and your family can
overcome this..
Actually,I don't know what's the use of
the drug that you indicated...But what
happen to your mother is that maybe, the
drug that they gave her to rise her
pressure is to provide her enough
oxygen..because when blood pressure is
very low.....there will be not enough
oxygenated blood that can supply or
body..and when to much high blood
pressure, this can cause clotting in the
blood vessel....so if blood clot
happens...the other organs on our body
will not have oxygenated blood...so the
heart will pump more blood to supply
them..when this happen..the clot blood
vessel will bust..that's the cause of
stoke.
Why not ask the doctor what just happen
that day to your mother....So that all
your doubts will be answered...I'm pretty
sure that the doctor will answer all your
questions..
For me...I'm just right here..I will pray
for you and our family.
