resting at home now. mc till end of this week. been put on tamsulosin to aid the ejection of the stone in the ureter. side effect of course is low bp that might result in giddiness and hence the danger of falls (especially at night).
been ordered to have complete rest to minimize this.

Get well soon... Love
true. harnal can cause postural hypotension especially at night, usually the urologist will order it to be taken at night. btw, one of my patient ever consume this little round tablet. it really works. his pee flow improved significantly...about the postural hypotension. maybe case to case basis, they can tolerate it well.

steve: yup. a friend asked me to stop it cos of the worry that i might fall when i wake up to pee at night... guessed i better be careful this month...
in that case, make sure you don't stand up quickly after wake up, just sit on your bed for a while, then only stand up slowly...just make sure you don't change your posture drastically..be careful ya~
wear diapers to sleep or sleeep in the bath-tub....;)
sharks: yup... maybe i should as my bee to escort me to pee at night... ha! then again, he'll be so dead asleep, he'll probably not even realized i got up!
