he was supposed to do an IV drip today to get fluids in him as he refuses to drink anything. The nurse wouldn't let him have the drip as he had too high of a blood pressure reading. He did not ask the numbers but said his blood pressure has been lower throughout this process. I would think as the doctor ordered the IV, he needs it. Maybe his bp is high because of dehydration???

any insight on this?
